GARDEN BIRDS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND EUROPE

How to attract the 50 most common garden birds in Great Britain and Europe: Ideas and suggestions on how to attract birds to your garden

On this page you will find the 50 most common garden birds for Great Britain and Europe. The page is still under construction and more info will follow shortly

American and Australian authors have put a great level of detail on precise sizes of nestboxes, but in reality, to most birds it probably does not really matter all that much. After all, they depend on what nature makes available to them, of for that matter what you make available to them. Them most critical thing is the diameter of the entrance hole. If you target a certain bird species, you should not make it any larger than its minimum size, as you want to avoid competition from birds that can get through a larger hole. So the British Trust for Ornithology has set some standardized dimensions:

  
Standard sizes of nestboxes

Standard Mounting Heights:

Low: about 1 - 2 m

Medium: about 2 - 5 m

High: more than 5 m

Nevertheless, we will give dimensions where they are available as they will help you decide what measures you can use, but remember, if your wood is slightly off, don't hesitate to adapt to the materials that you have. No bird comes along and will check the dimensions of your nestbox.

* This is an introduced species and on the one hand we should not promote it. On the other hand, there is no way we can stop it from spreading, so me may have to live with the reality. It is a fun bird to watch, being very sociable. So if you can't resist the temptation to hang up a nestbox, these are its dimensions.

This website is about birds, nature, conservation and the passion for nature. Let me tell you a bit about myself.

On this website, you can find the bird checklists of all countries of the world: Just go to http://www.birdlist.org/site/regions.htm.
