The Schwegler 1FD has been developed specifically for smaller bats as both the interior and the type and size of the entrance hole match the requirements of smaller species.
It features a special layout inside the domed roof, an increased interior height, and two grooved internal wooden front panels with precise spacing between them. This model has proved highly effective as a nursing area. The front panel can be removed for cleaning and inspection.
This box is designed to be sited on trees using the galvanised steel hanger and aluminium nail provided.
Occupants: Small bats such as the Common Pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pipistrellus).
Schwegler bat and bird boxes are backed by conservation organisations, government agencies and forestry experts and have the highest occupation rates of all nest boxes. They are carefully designed to mimic natural nest and roost sites and to provide a stable environment.
