National Nest Box Week 14-23 February 2015
Anyone can take part whether you’re a family with space for a box in your garden, a teacher, a member of a local wildlife group, or you belong to a bird club.
When?
We’re asking you to put your nest box up from 14 to 21 February to celebrate National Nest Box Week (NNBW). But, you can put up a nest box at any time of the year.
Why take part?
Natural nest sites for birds such as holes in trees or old buildings are disappearing fast as gardens are ‘tidied’ and old houses are repaired.
Taking part in NNBW gives you the chance to contribute to bird conservation whilst giving you the pleasure of observing any breeding birds that you attract to your nest box.

I put a new one up on Sunday, it has a very nifty design that makes it VERY easy to remove the bottom for cleaning.
All my old nest boxes have been up all winter as the birds use them for roosts (they got cleaned and re-hung in October)
