One of our wonderful supporters dropped off two nests this week for us to use within our sessions here at The Firs. One belonged to a Wren and the other to Blue Tits who had nested in a nest box. Can you guess which nest belongs to which bird?

We had a lovely day yesterday creating nests for our native birds, listening to their calls & making natural bird feeders, before enjoying a couple of rounds of our favourite wide game, ‘Eagle Eye’. Thanks to the flock of Sparrows, who all worked so well together 😊
