Bird box repairs

We have started the New Year thinking about the local birds that come and visit our school, we noticed that the bird boxs' were in need of some repair.  Having checked on the RSPB website (click to visit) you can start cleaning the boxes from August until January. 


You can legally only remove unhatched eggs from bird box's between August and January and then they must be disposed of.


January is also "BIG GARDEN BIRDWATCH"  so log on to the RSPB website and start counting.


Mr Thornton took down the old bird box's, some were worst than others.
We removed all the nails and rotten wood, cleaned them out and set about repairing them.
The girls are fixing the lid to this bird box with salvaged material from an old blackboard,

The team, working hard at painting!
 




The birdbox's are now repaired, cleaned and painted, ready to put up!
