Welcome to the Bird Boxes project pages
(Formally the Bird Boxes Watch at Vinters website)

With the opening of the new Vinters Valley Nature Reserve website the pages from the "Bird Boxes Watch at Vinters" website have moved to here.

These pages will now be updated and the old website has been closed down.

Over the next few weeks and months we will be adding more content. Please keep an eye on the website.

In March 2007 a local group of volunteers put up over 60 bird boxes, to help our feathered friends.

Surveys were carried out from April to June 2007 and around 18 boxes were used. Not every nest was successful, but that is sadly natures way.

In 2008 we are continuing with the survey. In November 2007 and January 2008 the boxes were all cleaned out with some moved to new areas and modified.

Surveys have now started for this year and the results can be found on these pages.

These pages allow you to follow the unfolding story and survey results. The diary pages document all the highs & lows through out the season.

To browse through theses pages please use the
"Bird Boxes Main Menu", located at the top.
