Swifts near Chinnor, Oxon

bob <b...@keenes2.uk>: Aug 31 10:13AM -0700 Our swift box group www.bnbg.org.uk has had an enquiry from someone from Chinnor regarding supply and installation of swift boxes. Sadly we don't have the resources to travel that far from our base to install (we specify a 10-mile radius). If we suggest supplying the boxes, does anyone know of someone in that area who would install them for him? Thanks, Bob Keene. Bisham Nest Box Group <http://www.bnbg.org.uk>

I'm afraid its always just a case of researching local trades n- TV aerial installers, handymen, roofers, small scale builders etc  This is always the biggest barrier to getting boxes put up.  I would say also NEVER try to do it yourself.  SWIFTS are my favourite bird but they are not worth breaking your neck for - you must put your own safety first.
