double check the hole size before you make them- this is pretty critical to get birds to nest in them.

Good point i din,t think of that i shall inquire

you could always drill it slightly bigger or smaller than the plan- what i meant was do not just follow it to the exact dimension.

You need to be quite precise about the size of the hole (down to a couple of mm), depending what sort of bird you're trying to attract - if it's too big the smaller bird's nest will get robbed. Don't do what many people do and put a perch on the front, it encourages robbing. Don't use tanalised wood. The RSPB site has plans and dimensions iirc.

Most of the info you need for making bird boxes, from the RSPB
