If you’re stuck for Valentine’s Day gift ideas why not sponsor a nest box for your loved one. Painshill is offering a unique opportunity to sponsor a bird nest box within the romantic 18th century landscape garden.

Sponsoring a nest box is a great way to help Britain’s birds and can make a huge difference. The nest box will provide a safe, warm, dry home in which birds can breed for many years.  Each box will be handmade and carefully positioned within the landscape to provide the best environment for the birds to nest successfully.

If you sponsor a nest box you will receive a certificate from Painshill displaying your loved one's name and personalised message. It costs £25 to sponsor a nest box (limited number available).

Painshill is offering two different sized nest boxes to encourage a variety of birds.

Nest box with hole - Blue Tits love this type of nest box but it may attract other birds such as a Sparrow, Nuthatch or Redstart.

Open fronted nest box - birds which are most likely to take up residence in this type of box include Robins, Pied Wagtails and Spotted Flycatchers.

Painshill supports National Nest Box Week organised each year by the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO), Britain’s leading bird research charity. The BTO is primarily involved in studying the populations of our common and garden birds. Information packs will be available from the Painshill Shop.
