Create a safe nesting space for Robins, Wagtails, and Flycatchers.
Some of Ireland’s most familiar and best-loved garden birds — including Robins, Pied Wagtails, Wrens, Flycatchers, Song Thrushes, and Blackbirds — prefer to nest in open-fronted spaces rather than enclosed boxes. Unfortunately, improved modern building techniques and renovation of older properties have greatly reduced these natural nesting opportunities over recent decades.
This Open-Fronted Nest Box provides an ideal alternative, offering a secure, weather-resistant nesting place that closely mimics natural sites such as ivy-covered walls, hedgerows, or nooks in old buildings. It also serves as a warm refuge during Ireland’s cold, wet winters.
Crafted from FSC-certified pinewood with a durable zinc roof, this box is built to last. The solid stabilising backboard makes installation easy on trees, posts, or buildings, while its open design makes it especially attractive to shy species that prefer low, sheltered locations.
Perfect for Robins & Flycatchers – suits species that nest in open spaces.
Sustainably made – FSC-approved pine with a weatherproof zinc roof.
Built for Irish conditions – long-lasting protection against rain and cold.
Simple to install – secure backboard for easy mounting.
Encourages biodiversity – restores vital nesting sites lost to modern construction
