for the continued growth of the tree. Suitable tree diameter approx. 25 - 30 cm,
to ensure that the Nest Box fits well against the trunk.

Treecreeper Box 2B
There are two types of Treecreeper in Europe: the species known simply as
the Treecreeper, and the Short-toed Treecreeper. They are very difficult to
tell apart although experts can distinguish them by their calls or by slight
differences in the colouring of their feathers.
Both species prefer a nest box that allows contact inside with a tree trunk
that has a coarse type of bark, such as oak, alder, poplar, pine, pear or apple
trees. For this reason the Treecreeper boxes are open at the rear (the tree
side).
With their pointed beaks the Birds can search among the cracks in the bark
for spiders and insects such as Beetles. The entrances, on both sides, provide
excellent protection against Cats and Martens.
The nest boxes should be hung on trunks with a diameter of between 25 and
30 cm. Depending on regional conditions, there may be differences in the
rate of occupancy between the 2B and 2BN. We therefore recommend that
you begin by using the same number of both types. After one or two breeding
seasons it will be apparent which type is most popular in a particular area.

» Garden Pack II: "Gardens with Cats" Order No. 00 507/6
This set, which has been specifically designed to provide nesting sites for
Redstarts and solitary Insects, is recommended for small gardens, balconies
or car ports. The open-ended 2H box
should not be placed in an exposed site in
trees because this does not offer sufficient
protection against predators. It is preferable to place the 2H box on a house wall,
under the eaves, on a car port or on the
corner of a building.
A selection of predator-proof nesting boxes for
Birds: with their built-in protection against predators these nesting boxes encourage successful
breeding.
The boxes can be placed on houses
and car ports or in trees and are
strongly recommended where
protection is required against
Cats or Magpies.
Set III is ideal for a wide range of occupants: garden Birds such as Great Tits
and
the smaller Tits, Redstarts, Wrens and
Sparrows, and for Bats too.
