Our new nest box

Our new nest box, a photo by Cobra_11 on Flickr.

I got this little nest box at our local supermarket. It's so cute that I immediately decided I had to have it :-) As you can see, it has a hole in the front and there's a little stick just under the hole so that the birds can land safely. At the back of the house there's a little door so that the nesting box can be cleaned properly at the end of the season. We'll hang this in our garden and see what birds it will attract. I'm already thinking of getting a nest-box camera, too, and build it in so that I'll be able to observe the life in of the young birds :-)
