    An open fronted Blackbird (or other) nester.It looked a bit exposed so have covered the top with chicken wire and poked in some Pyracantha twigs,I may put some more on.(North facing).

    If I asked kindly, would it be possible for you to give me the dimensions of your blackbird box? I like making things like this with my children, however I cannot find the dimensions anywhere to make one for our blackbirds. We have made lots of other bird boxes, just not one for them.

    Many thanks in advance.
    The BTO have produced a book with details of how to build almost any kind of bird box based on their experience. It's cheap enough but there's also a more basic pdf version available for free on their webite.

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
  • This box is about the same as mine and it has the dimensions in the specifications.

    Looks as though it may be fairly easy to duplicate.
    Good luck and nice to see you getting the children interested!
    Not being rude in replying I have just worked out how to see posts I have made comments on to see if you answered. Thank you for the help.
