LPO nesting box for White-fronted Redstarts

Designed by the LPO and manufactured by the ESAT de l'Argerie, using natural Douglas fir from sustainably managed forests, this nest box has been specially developed to provide shelter for the white-throated dipper during its nesting period.

Still very common a few decades ago, this arboreal bird, a long-distance migratory member of the thrush family, has seen its numbers decrease significantly in Europe due to habitat destruction, loss of nesting sites, and pesticide use. Present in parks, orchards, gardens, vineyards, and open forests, the white-throated dipper needs our help!

Install this nest box along a tree trunk between 3 and 5 meters high, the entrance hole facing away from the prevailing winds, in a wooded area. Avoid full sun or full shade.

Easy cleaning thanks to its front opening.

Why install bird nest boxes?

The scarcity of natural nesting sites (hollow trees, holes in buildings or under roofs, etc.) is a significant obstacle to the reproduction of nesting birds in our gardens. Thus, tits, nuthatches, treecreepers, and white-throated dippers struggle to find a place to build their nest.

To address this issue and contribute to the protection of these birds, you can install bird nest boxes in your gardens or on your buildings! They provide valuable assistance to these species.

The bird nest box models we offer, designed or selected by the LPO, provide the necessary guarantees for successful nesting.
