Nest Boxes for Robins

Black Redstart, Robin, Spotted Flycatcher, Wren, Blackbird and Pied Wagtail - for these species, you need an open fronted nest box and it needs to be hung lower - 1-2 metres is best. They also like it to be amongst some natural cover but the flight path cannot be blocked. Ideally, face the box between North and East to avoid the wet and sun. Tilt the box forward slightly when you hang it so that the roof can keep the rain out.
