Can I enter data for birds in nest boxes?

Yes! Remember that before looking in a nest box, you should always give it a few taps in order for the female to leave the box. If the box has a panel which opens, you can directly look at its contents. If the box was not designed to be opened, you can try using a flashlight to see inside. This method can be a little bit difficult so if you cannot see the contents properly, do not send in the data. We ask you be very careful if you need to use a ladder or stepladder!
