Simon King Gift Pack

This super gift pack contains the Curve Nest Box which was designed by Simon himself thanks to his extensive knowledge and experience of watching and learning about garden birds. It is aesthetically appealing, both to us and wildlife, as well as being built specifically for small hole nesting birds such as blue and great tits, sparrows and flycatchers. Together with the Curve, you will find a copy of Simon’s book; the Simon King Naturewatch book and some premium wild bird food. Simon’s wonderfully detailed book is full of useful information about how to get the most from watching nature, all gleaned from his life out filming in the wild. Packed up in an attractive box with recyclable packaging it makes for a lovely present.

The fascinating Interactive Solitary Beehive

One of our most popular products, the Interactive Solitary Beehive is a lovely present that’ll bring pleasure and satisfaction through the spring and summer. Easily hung on a sunny external wall or fence, it provides habitat for the often forgotten solitary bees such as Leaf Cutter and Mason bees. These pollinators are an essential part of our ecosystem and modern houses or gardens can provide challenges for them. You’ll see them buzzing around the entrance to the bee hotel when the weather warms up, and gain huge satisfaction in seeing these non-swarming bees lay their eggs and seal the tubes beautifully with leaves or dried mud – it’s a joy to behold. This new version has a hinged lid which reveals a perspex covered tray so you can get the perfect view of their life cycle.

Simon King Cabin Nester

The Cabin Nester is a really attractive house perfect for placing in hedges and shrubs, tucked away from predators and the elements. It has an open entrance preferred by Robins, Wrens and Flycatchers and then a cosy nesting space behind a side wall. In the winter it offers a protective roosting space away from the elements on those harsher winter days. Attractive and functional, it’s a lovely gift.
