National bird box week 2010 NBBW 14-21 February 2010 |
|
|
|
Every year the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) holds the national bird box week on valentines day – February 14th 2010. We are all encouraged to put of nest boxes to help our native birds thus hopefully reversing declining numbers.
Over several years, our birds have been struck by ever changing habitats, climates, feeding patterns and conditions. This winter has recorded some of the lowest temperatures for decades. There is no doubt that this has had a drastic effect on our native bird numbers. By having bird boxes, we are at least giving them an opportunity to breed and increase numbers.
So if you want to get involved, why not get your family, school, local group and spend an hour siting boxes in gardens, parks etc. Or, why not grab yourself a lump of wood (New ore recycled) and make a few bird boxes. It is great fun and easy to do. Feel proud that you have given a brood a home and you have had fun too!
Handykam – Supports National Nest Box week. Broods need our help. Adopt a brood today!

Not sure what to do on January 30-31 (This weekend)? Well, why not grab the family, draw up a comfy chairs, pour yourself a cuppa while you count birds at your feeding station. What more can you ask for....
This is a yearly event brought to you by the RSPB, who are trying to collect important data on our national bird numbers. It is a great way for us also to spend 1hr learning and enjoying our birds around us while helping national figures too. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be an expert or do this alone as there are hundreds of bird counting events around the country. |
How does it work?
All you have to do is:
- Download a record sheet from the RSPB website. http://www.rspb.org.uk/birdwatch
- Setup a bird feeder or feeding station nearby.
- Sit for an hour over the weekend, identify the birds and mark down the biggest number of birds that land together in a given time. (Not the ones that fly over)
- Submit your results on the RSPB website http://www.rspb.org.uk/birdwatch It is as easy as this.
