Build a love nest for birds

WE always think of birds as visitors to our gardens, but with woodland across the UK in dramatic decline, gardens are becoming increasingly important as nesting sites.
If you have a wall, fence, trellis or trees, then you have an ideal location to put up a nesting box and make your garden a place for birds to call home.
There are plenty of good, ready-S made bird boxes available to buy, but if you do, make sure it’s approved by the RSPB and marked with the FSC symbol, which means the wood used has come from a sustainable source. Even better, why not have a go at making your own bird box using some scrap timber? Build your own bird box You can use old pieces of timber as long as they’re unstained, untreated and unplaned. Cut and assemble the wood as per the diagram. Drill the hole size according to the bird you want to accommodate – 25mm for blue tits or great tits, 29mm for house sparrows or nut hatches
