  • This bird box is designed by experts especially for kestrels.
  • Constructed from precision cut FSC certified exterior plywood treated with water based environmentally friendly preservative.
  • Easy to mount the kestrel box high up on a wall, tree or pole.

Kestrels are no longer such a common sight as they were, hovering alongside motorways and field margins. Estimates suggest that the UK population has reduced from over 100,000 in the early 1970s to under 40,000 pairs today.

Help these iconic raptors by providing a good nest site with our Kestrel Nest Box. This has a 100mm deep canopy, a good (100mm) entrance lip, spacious nesting area and sturdy perch. It is easy to erect the box on a tree or wall with the integral side mounting strip. The box is best mounted high up with good panoramic views to attract nesting kestrels but facing away from the prevailing weather.

These bird boxes are normally supplied Right Handed as shown in the photo, but, if you prefer it, can at your request be made Left Handed with the side mounting strip and the perch moved to the opposite sides of the box.

This nesting box is constructed from precision cut FSC certified external grade plywood and has been treated with an environmentally friendly preservative which is kind to the kestrels and helps to ensure a long lasting dry comfortable bird nesting box.

In partnership with The Nestbox Company

A family-run business, supporting UK wildlife since 1996.

nature first since 1996

We aim for our boxes to provide the best accommodation for wildlife and our primary concern with all our products is that they should be designed appropriately for their target species.

Our boxes replicate as far as possible the conditions which are found in natural nest and roost sites.

designed by experts

Before we design any box we consider the requirements of the proposed inhabitants through reviews of published studies and consultation with experts in their field.

Combined with our experience of designing and manufacturing boxes and customer feedback we produce what we hope are boxes which offer the best accommodation for wildlife.

During the development of our products we are grateful to have received input of various kinds from many sources including, amongst others, the RSPB, the Barn Owl Trust, the University of Warwick, ZSL London Zoo, Staffordshire University, the Bat Conservation Trust, Aston University, the People's Trust for Endangered Species, Coventry University and the British Hedgehog Preservation Society.

We started making nest boxes in 1996 based in a shed in Herefordshire. Since then, we’ve grown in size to become one of the largest producers of roost, nest, and wildlife boxes in the UK.

The Nestbox Company is run by father and sons; Peter, Tristan and Damian.

We manufacture our products in our own rural workshops, and combine modern production technology, with traditional hand finishing.
