Tits come out of a long winter night measurably lighter than they went in, and wrens, at around ten grams, have almost nothing in reserve, which is why their numbers fall so sharply after a hard winter. On the coldest nights they huddle together in any dry cavity they can find. The trouble is that the old cavities are going: thatch replaced, hedges grubbed out, ivy stripped, barns converted. A woven roosting nest can stand in for them, but only if three things are right. It needs a roof that throws the rain off, a door small enough to hold the warmth, and it has to be fixed firm so it doesn't swing. A standard bird box is a different thing: it's built for chicks in spring, from thin boards that turn cold and damp on a January night.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"prod-expert-name\" style=\"color:#E8B48A !important;\"\u003eDr. Catherine Hollis, Ornithologist\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"prod-expert-inst\" style=\"color:#B9A68E !important;\"\u003eLevels \u0026amp; Moors Bird Recording Group\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"prod-h2\"\u003ePerfect for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-perfect-for\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"prod-tag\"\u003e🐦 Everyone who feeds the birds\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"prod-tag\"\u003e❄️ Frosty gardens \u0026amp; exposed spots\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"prod-tag\"\u003e🏡 New-build gardens with no hedge\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"prod-tag\"\u003e🌿 Ivy, holly \u0026amp; old hedges\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"prod-tag\"\u003e🪟 Kitchen-window watchers\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"prod-tag\"\u003e🎁 The bird lover who has every feeder\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"prod-tag\"\u003e👵 Grandparents \u0026amp; grandchildren\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"prod-tag\"\u003e🕯️ In memory of someone who fed the birds\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"prod-h2\"\u003eQuality you can check yourself\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"prod-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand-grown, binder-cut Somerset straw\u003c\/strong\u003e — undyed and unpainted, with no plastic, no wire frame and no synthetic fibre anywhere on it.

That's the mark of real handwork, not a fault. Out in the weather the straw will slowly fade to a soft silver-gold, the way an old thatched roof does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe birds choose their winter bedrooms in autumn and go in at dusk, usually a few minutes after sunset, so most people never see it happen. Put it up early, by the end of October if you can. Tie it firmly into ivy, a hedge, a holly or a conifer, or against a post under the eaves, 1.5 to 3 metres up, with the door facing east or south-east, away from the prevailing wind and the wet. Keep it a few metres from your feeders and away from fence tops a cat can walk along. Look for a few droppings or a small feather just inside the door. Three free things matter more than anything else: leave the ivy, leave one untidy corner with your prunings and leaves, and don't put any straw or bedding inside; the birds prefer it bare. In late spring, once the birds have moved out, take it down, shake it out, rinse it with plain water and let it dry in the sun before putting it back up in the autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"prod-h2\"\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"prod-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-coiled Somerset straw and grass, layered straw thatch, wooden roof disc, twig finial, jute hanging loop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural, undyed straw and grass, no paint, stain or varnish; weathers to a soft silver-gold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSet contents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Jenny Wren Nest · tie-down twine · siting card · sent upright in a box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (outer)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 22 × 17 cm, including roof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRound coiled chamber, no corners, sized for a small huddle of little birds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEntrance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRound wren door, approx. 35 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverlapping straw thatch on a solid wooden disc, overhanging the room to throw off the rain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFixing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJute loop plus tie-down twine, to be bound firm into ivy, a hedge or holly, or against a post, so it can't swing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuits\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWrens, blue tits, coal tits, great tits, sparrows and other small garden birds · a winter roost first, an occasional spring nest\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural straw and meadow grass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSiting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIn ivy, a hedge, holly or conifer, or under the eaves, 1.5–3 m up, door facing east or south-east, away from feeders and the prevailing wind\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOnce a year in late spring: take down, shake out, rinse with plain water, dry in the sun.
