The kestrel is one of our most charismatic birds of prey and a familiar sight across much of the UK. Sadly, like many of our native birds, it has seen significant declines over much of its range since the late 20th Century and is now 'Amber-listed' as a conservation priority in the UK. One probable reason for this decline, alongside habitat loss, prey declines, and agricultural chemical use, is a reduced range of natural and man-made cavities in which they would naturally nest. It is therefore important to provide nesting sites wherever possible.
This timber box is rugged and built to last, with an easy-to-use mounting plate and a perch included. The large internal cavity and open front are perfect for kestrels, providing ample room to raise a clutch of chicks. It should ideally be sited in a tree, or on a post, at least five metres above the ground with a good viewpoint.
