…for my feathered friends.

I am very happy as one of my Christmas presents was a bird nesting box. I knew exactly where I wanted to put it and it worked. The tree was covered by my evergreen clematis but once I cleared that I found just the right place for the new box. And even better – it will have neighbours, the old box is still there, I just didn’t see it. RSPB says that there can be a few boxes together….if they say that, who am I to argue with.

All I need now is a little holder for some sheep wool so that the birds can line their new house with something soft and warm. I know just the thing – it looks like an apple with a  lots of holes, it can be stuffed with the wool and as it hangs from the branch nearby the birds can help themselves…
