Running
from 14th – 21st February, National
Nest Box Week encourages us to put
up nest boxes to help our breeding
birds and other wildlife.
The
natural nest sites on which many of
our bird species depend, such as holes
in trees and buildings, are fast disappearing
as gardens and woods are ‘tidied’
and old houses are repaired. |
| | |
Since
National Nest Box Week was launched in 1997,
thousands of enthusiastic naturalists across
the UK have put up boxes to compensate for
this loss. It is estimated that there are
now 5-6 million boxes in gardens across
the UK.
If you
are interested in adding to this impressive
tally, GardenCentre.co.uk is able to help.
We stock a wide range of bird boxes that
will attract all manner of birds to your
garden and provide them with the perfect
place to roost. |

In
return for all this nourishment, the
birds will eat many garden pests.
They’re also fascinating to
watch and their daily antics will
soon have you hooked.
Just
take a look at the film that our wildlife
film expert Rob Weaver has put together
for GardenCentre.co.uk, to bring attention
to the needs of our feathered friends
this national nest box week. |

We are hoping that Rob, who has filmed for
the BBC's AutumnWatch and CountryFile
programmes, will become a regular
columnist with more short films on
specific bird species over the weeks
and months to come.
