Did you know it had been *until tomorrow anyway* National bird box
week?
I watched hardly any news all last week so didn't see it anywhere.

No, it's not been publicised. However if anyone is thinking of putting
a
nest box up for the first time, February is the time to do it.
Most of the advice I've seen is to put it up a few months in advance of
the breeding season to allow birds time to get used to it being in their
landscape. February seems rather a longtime in advance --- unless
they're really going to use it the instant it's up?
February *is" a few months in advance of the breeding season. You might
have to trust me on this.
Put your new boxes up in February.
