THE British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) is calling on UK householders to help track the progress of nesting birds in gardens by getting involved in the 2014 Nest Box Challenge (NBC).
NBC organiser Hazel Evans said: “Participants can help us monitor birds’ responses to the warm spring by collecting very simple information about the number of eggs and chicks in nests they find in their gardens and inputting it on the BTO website.”
Gardens provide food and nest sites for birds.
