Kingfisher Nesting Box IJSVW1 – concrete nesting box with 3 nest holes | Unitura

The IJSVW1 is an L-shaped concrete breeding wall for kingfishers. The wall has three nest holes and creates an artificial bank in places where natural steep banks are missing. Place it along clear, fish-rich water.

• Concrete wall (C60/75) with three 10 cm nest holes
• Artificial bank for kingfishers where natural steep banks are missing
• Nest holes can be pre-drilled to make the wall more attractive
• Durable and low-maintenance

Tip: Place the wall outside the breeding season, in a quiet and sheltered spot, approximately 30 cm above the water level.

Placement

Choose a quiet, sheltered spot near clear, fish-rich water, preferably with a branch or tree as a natural screen. Shrubs and trees in the vicinity provide shade and shelter for fledglings; overhanging branches serve as lookout posts. Avoid obstructive aquatic plants in front of the wall and ensure a water depth of at least 75 cm if necessary. To pre-drill the nest tunnels, use a drill bit of approximately 6 cm: create a tunnel at least 30 cm deep, angled slightly upwards (about 10 degrees) so that water does not enter. Leave the nest chamber open and ensure that the material behind the wall is soft enough to dig into, such as loam, sand, or a clay-sand mixture.
