The Simon King Robin Nester takes account of the fact that Robins typically favour nesting sites with some sort of structure to build on or within, which are also both well covered and tucked-away. The Brushwood Robin Nester is also just the right size for a Robin to nest.
Designed in conjunction with TV naturalist Simon King, this Brushwood Robin Nester replicates the way in which Robins like to nest, with a large entrance which is set to the side of the main chamber. This Simon King Robin Nester also reflects the fact that Robins can’t use nest boxes with a small hole in them and positioned at the top, as the species is essentially a ground feeder and therefore is not adapted to cling on to thin materials and squeeze into a hole (in the way, for example, a Blue tit would be).

Not sure of actual product as sent as gift and it’s 250 miles away !! But the service and delivery were exemplary! I ordered 3.30 on one day and they were delivered safely by 2.30 next day !! Amazing ! ( I realise this was because vine house is about only 35 miles from delivery but even so .. that’s fantastic ..) Christmas gifts of feed were equally successful to Cambs and Cornwall with equal love and efficiency .. highly recommended .. and everyone should visit website and read back story xx

A nice compact and light weight nester, a lot of money for what it is, but hopefully a Robin or maybe some other bird may reside in the nester.

My order arrived promptly and potentially looks as though it will make a good robin's nest. I had to bend back a sharp piece of wire at the opening which I thought was a risk to birds and fledglings - but otherwise am happy with the product.

Arrived in the time frame expected. The nester is well made and a good size. The brushwood housing does seem a bit sparse and not very thick so if not located in a waterproof location will probably get wet. I probably bought this too late for it to get used this year but hopefully next year it will get fully utilised. I have put it up so hopefully it will get used by a bird who may have a couple of partners!!

It’s lovely , put it quite low hidden in my jasmine and placed some meal worms in it and the worms have disappeared, not quite sure what ate them but hope it was a robin or a wagtail. We live in a new development and there are not many birds about so I’m hoping to lure them into my garden with food and perches . I love the robin nester it’s well made and value for money.

Robins are notorious for nesting in odd places like the wheel arch of a tractor, in an old pot, or in the corner of a garden shed. It seems Robins pick such places to nest because they provide a sense of safety from predators, which is especially important as they often also like to nest relatively close to the ground.
The Simon King Brushwood Robin Nester makes an ideal enclosure for a Robin to set up home, with ideal locations for it being tucked behind a climbing part on a wall or trellis, or well within a shrub or evergreen hedge. As long as the entrance is just about visible, a Robin searching for a nest site is likely to find it.
Another bird species which might use the brushwood Robin nester is the Pied wagtail, as they have similar requirements – albeit Pied wagtails also like to be fairly close to water and open areas such as lawns to feed on.
The Simon King Wildlife Robin Nester is very lightweight and is supplied with a hanging wire for easy installation. Height of the nest is 14cm, width 25cm and depth 12cm.
What makes this nest more suited to Robins than other birds?
It is designed with the Robin's natural nesting habits entirely in mind, with these being fairly unique relative to other garden birds
What time of year can I expect to find Robins nesting in this product?
The normal time would be during March, though Robins often start their courtship as early as January - which is likely to be in the vicinity of a suitable nest site. In addition, Robins may use the nester for overnight roosting in the winter months
Where is the best place to position the Robin Nester?
It must be out of view of predators and out of direct sunlight. So an ideal spot would be tucked behind a climbing plant on a wall, fence or trellis, and at least one metre above the ground.
