Cheep nest boxes for sale This amusing sign was outside a house on the north side of the A6071 at Smithfield. When I stopped to take a photo the house owner came out for a friendly chat. He makes the boxes and sells them for charity. I would have bought one but my garden is well stocked with bird boxes.
