Nest Box Challenge

There's a huge amount of wildlfe in Suffolk and the BBC is teaming up with the British Trust for Ornithology to record exactly which birds are visting our gardens everyday.

The BBC is taking part in a massive, country-wide survey to find out exactly which birds visit our gardens.

Tower Ramparts Shopping Centre Feb 2007

BBC Radio Suffolk's Rachel Sloane, Rob Dunger, Norman Lloyd and Graham Barnard, along with Karen Hare and Julia Griggs from Suffolk Action, were giving away 200 bird boxes at the Tower Ramparts Shopping Centre in Ipswich on Saturday 17th February 2007.

The freebies were snapped up by enthusiastic twitchers within a mere one hour! Our team and Alton Wildlife were on hand to assemble the boxes.

Don't forget to register!

Once you've set your box up in your garden, you need to register with the Thetford-based British Trust for Ornithology by visiting the BBC's Nest Box Challenge website. We'd like to hear from you if any birds settle into to their palatial new homes, so send us your photographs and you may even want to become one of our special Nest Box Champions who we'll keep in touch with regularly.

Please use the Nest Box Challenge website rather than contacting the BBC's Suffolk website.
