Welcome to the Northants Bird Ringing Group

Group nest box monitoring

 The group now monitors over  600 nest boxes on various sites, and this number is increasing all the time with the changes to Government Environmental Schemes, which incentivice farmers and land owners to install boxes for target species e.g. Barn Owl and Tree Sparrow.
