I am looking to put some bird-boxes up in my garden, so I am hoping that BF members can give me some advice and/or share their experiences.
I have a normal UK two storey brick house (detached), with a rear garden that faces SE-ish. The garden has a 6 foot wooden fence, but the back and one side are used as a thoroughfare by a few of the local cats – so I am reluctant to fix any to the fence.
I am fortunate enough that our garden faces out over a largely green (scrubby) area, with a pond and a wood within easy flying distance of our house (not sure if that's a good or a bad thing bird-box wise!).
Our garden is still less than 1 year old, and whilst it is become more attractive to the birdies – there is not an awful lot of cover available.
What I'm after is any suggestion as to suitable boxes, how many and how high!
I you need any more info, just ask.
Thanks all…
