What is National Nest Box Week ?
Over the past twenty years National Nest Box Week (NNBW) has become an established part of the ornithological calendar. It is an important time of year for wild birds in the UK, and NNBW is aimed at adding focus for nesting birds, to assist with their breeding season. Everyone can play a part and chose to help, even the smallest effort can make a huge difference.
NNBW is a time where keen bird enthusiasts can go the extra mile to provide a strong foundation for the next generation of fledglings, those new to the world of birds can provide support with shelter and/or food and organisations can create further awareness of the positive impact that we as a community can have on Britain's wildlife population.
When is it?
National Nest Box Week runs from 14th to 21st February 2019, but anyone can do thier part at anytime of the year and make sure that birds have a place to nest.
How can we help?
The easiest things that we can do as a community is provide food and shelter for our wild birds. At Scotsdlaes, we have a wide selection of items in each of our three stores: Great Shelford, Fordham & Horningsea to make this easy for all. We have a wide selection of nesting boxes suitable for various spiecies such as robins, blue tits, sparrows, great tits, finches and many more.
