This type of box has a brood chamber with a slightly reduced depth and greater height compared to the Type 2B, and no cleaning flap. The box is placed on the Aluminium Nail supplied, which is hammered halfway in, and wire is also used to attach the box to the trunk. This flexible system largely makes allowance for further growth of the trunk, but should be checked every few years. It is cleaned by folding it out to the side or by removing the box from the tree trunk. Including lip seal, which presses into the rough bark of the tree on which the box is fixed to largely prevent water from penetrating the box.

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.
