Not sure a fence is the best place, as fence tops tend to be cat promenades... on a wall or tree might be safer. -- Klara, Gatwick basin |

Don't face it into the full sun, ours face E. but are also shaded by next doors house so only get sun for about an hour mid morning. I put two up on the side of our house for Sparrows, got Blue Tits instead every year and I think they are now feeding their second brood if they do such things. No way anything can get to them there and better than when I had them on the fence, found a cat sitting on the box once. -- Regards Bob In Runnymede, 17 miles West of London |

Some advice please. should face east. Gets the first morning rays to warm chicks up, but sheltered from the very hot south and west sun, and sheltered also from the prevailing weather which blows from thw west or north. Fences are too low and the chicks will be at risk from all sorts of predators. |
