Using Endoscope cameras we check a variety of locations for breeding birds. We have helped install over 100 Boxes in the southside of Glasgow. Get in contact and come to a taster session to see if you think it might be for you. More details on each of our sites below. These projects are very community orientated so you will be expected to talk to anyone that shows an interest. We do a range of other nest recording, including natural nest sites and a Sparrow project near Greenbank Gardens. We follow strict rules set out by the British Trust for Ornithology. All data collected is sent to their nest record scheme. Click their logo above to find out more.
