It's Saturday!
In our #NestboxAuction Saturday Swapshop we'll give you a one of these brilliant and original nestboxes ... each one beautifully hand decorated by one of the UK's leading fashion designers ... in exchange for a big wad of cash.
OK, it's not a swapshop. It is an auction; but the bit about the world class, big-name celeb designers is true. You can't get bigger than these names - in no particular order: Kiely, Conran, Macdonald, Rhodes, Grant, Hemingway, Deacon, Hamnet, Atkinson, Rocha and Westwood. Their clothes are worn by stars of stage, screen and stadium as well as successful leaders from the worlds of business, industry and science.
Here they've taken humble RSPB nestboxes and created works of art. You could do the same with one of our boxes, or make your own.
If you lust after one of these beauties, you have until the end of Monday morning to register your bid. It being a Saturday, we set the boxes free to enjoy some freerange activity before we have to say goodbye and hand them over to their lucky new owners:
This nestbox auction is a collaboration between the RSPB and the British Fashion Council. All money raised funds projects protecting UK wildlife and making our landscapes more resilient to climate change impacts. Whether it's searing temps or torrential rain, nature can help make it all more manageable. Visit our reserves or look at our website for more information and inspiration to discover nature.
