National Nest Box Week

National Nest Box Week takes place every year from 14th to 21st February. The British Trust for Ornithology
encourages everyone to put up a nest box to provide a home for garden birds over the coming months.

Natural next sites, such as holes in trees and buildings are fast disappearing. To compensate the loss, enthusiastic bird lovers have installed about 6 million nest boxes in UK gardens since 1977. Even if your nest box isn’t used to raise a family it might still be used as a safe, warm and dry space to roost overnight.

So, go on, put up a nest box this National Nest Box Week.
