I was interested to note your short mention of the “housing crisis” with which birds in the UK are afflicted in last week’s publication – and how the British Trust for Ornithology is encouraging people to provide first-time homes for fledglings (Social Animal, page 21).
We recently completed a scheme in Therfield, Hertfordshire, where we provided a nesting box on the flank wall for the very reasons you outline. The box itself was constructed to designs provided by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and was fitted as part of the scheme’s formal opening by Oliver Heald, the local MP.
