National Nest Box Week

Starting on St Valentine's Day, it's the time we build homes for dozens of bird species, from Blue Tits to Barn Owls.

Should you have room for a box in your garden, National Nest Box Week gives you the chance to contribute to the conservation effort in the UK whilst giving you the pleasure of observing any breeding birds you attraction there.

Make a Bird Box - Tues 14th February, Bedgebury

Children will have the chance to experience bird watching and build a nest box which they can take home. Guidance will be given on choosing a pair of binoculars, feeding birds, and what sort of feeder to use.

The event will run from 10am till 12 noon and is suitable for children aged 8 and over. Cost - £6 per young person.
