National Nest Box Week

National Nestbox Week starts on 14 February every year.

National Nestbox Week is an established part of the ornithological calendar. Celebrated from February 14th each year, it puts the spotlight on breeding birds and asks everyone to put up more nestboxes in their local area in order to promote and enhance biodiversity and conservation of our breeding birds and wildlife.

National Nestbox Week was first established in 1997.

The British Trust for Ornithology nest box guide is full of lots of information:

• Why we need nest boxes
• Buying a nest box
• Building a nest box
• Looking after your nest box

The National Nestbox Week website also has tons of info on installing & building your own nest boxes.
