Common Kestrel Nest Box TVLT1 – Nest Box for Tree, Pole, or Wall | Unitura

The TVLT1 is a nest box for kestrels, permanent residents of the Dutch countryside. A patch of grassland with a hedgerow is often enough habitat; the limiting factor is usually a nesting site. This box makes it easy to provide one. Mount it on a tree, pole, or wall.

• Made of 18 mm waterproof plywood (FSC), painted green
• Wide entrance (50 x 18 cm) with a view over the foraging area
• Drainage holes in the floor drain blown-in water immediately
• Mounting holes in the back panel for easy hanging

Tip: face the box southeast and ensure the kestrel has a view; kestrels want to be able to survey their foraging area.

Placement

Place the box on a tree or pole at the edge of a field or pasture, at a height of approximately 6 metres. Before placing it, put a layer of fine wood shavings in the box.
