Having distributed hundreds of bird boxes and duck nest tubes across the region, we always enjoy receiving updates on how they are performing

We were recently sent these fantastic photos from some of our boxes in Bowland, and it's great to see such healthy broods of songbirds thriving this year

If you have a BASC bird box or duck nest tube, we'd love to hear how it's doing. Send us your photos and updates, and don't forget to submit your duck nest tube monitoring data using the BASC Duck Nest Monitoring Form here - https://ow.ly/N9b050Zb6mj

What a great weekend we had at the The Northern Country Sports Show in Harrogate. It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces and welcome plenty of new members to the stand.

We had lots of positive engagement with other trade exhibitors and fi****ms licensing teams throughout the weekend. The kids' conservation area was a huge success, with most activities oversubscribed and packed out from start to finish

As a brand-new event, thanks to all the traders, exhibitors, and attendees who helped lay the foundations for what has the potential to become a superb annual event!

Lastly, a big thank you to everyone who popped in to say hi, and a massive thanks also to our incredible team of volunteers for all their hard work over the weekend 🙂

What a fantastic day we had over the weekend at our Introduction to Deer Stalking event in Cumbria. From practical demonstrations and informative discussions to plenty of fun on the range, it was a brilliant day all round.

A huge thank you to the UKDTR team for all their support throughout the day — especially Ash and Aoife for delivering their tracking display in very testing conditions. Great work!
