Nestbox Records for Gledhow Valley

The Gledhow Valley Nestbox Scheme began in 1989 with the intention of encouraging birds that might otherwise not be able to breed in the valley. The success of the scheme can be seen in the table below, but there have been some definite high and low points.

To learn more about the progress of the Nestbox Scheme (including the Attack of the Killer Woodpeckers!), please see the Bird Stories from Gledhow Valley Woods section.
