When is the best time to put a birdbox up?
The breeding season is between February and Auguist, although it varies by species and temperature. Nest boxes can bye put up at any time, but birds tend to be like people and look closely at a new home before moving in, so you are less likely to find them moving in if you put a box up between March and September. In some cases you may find that a box is unused one year but occupied the next. However, you may find what we found – that boxes get used as roosts, particularly on cold winters’ nights. Please note that it is an offence to move or disturb any box once birds have moved in and are nesting inside..
