To encourage biodiversity in the garden, we have introduced a range of bird feeders around the school grounds, for winter. This compliments what was done earlier, in the summer, when insect towers and bird huts were positioned throughout this area. Most of the feeders were simple ideas, easily made by the pupils themselves, as part of the school's Garden Group (as one of the school's many 'Citizenship Groups').
The feeders include:
Garlands of dried fruit, strung at high level from the pergola, and low level off the fence;
Sunflower seed and mixed seed feeders, strung at high level from the pergola;
Fat balls, strung at high level from the pergola and lower level off the wigwams within the raised beds;
Plus a feeding tray, within the raised beds, which will be replenished by the cores left from the apple-eating P2/3 at breaks!
Go on, have a go yourself at home, and bring more small birds into your own garden!
