More nest boxes - milk bottle and welly boot

 Following on from that we have put up two more nest sites - bit of an experiment, this. One is a 4 pint plastic milk bottle and the other is a cut down Wellington boot.

The milk bottle has been wrapped in black tape to darken it, been pierced to make a few drainage holes and positioned horizontally just below the eaves of the garden shed.  The hole is 30mm. probably not quite big enough for sparrows but we shall see.

The boot has been cut to form an open cavity that might attract a robin. It is positioned about 8’ up, under an open shelter, next to the old stables.

Here they are -
