I have purchased a swift nesting box. Which direction should the opening face? I was going to go with North.

Shouldn’t get too much direct sun, so north would be a good choice; and at least 4-5m above the ground with a clear flight path in. Think about playing a recording of swift calls to attract their curiosity early and late in the season. Good luck!
