A couple of weeks back I set up a display of free walking and cycling maps which are disappearing fast. It’s amazing how many good quality free resources there are available at your library! There is so much to explore. If you are interested in the biodiversity of Kingston Borough then call into the Biodiversity Open Day on Saturday 30 October and you will find lots of local experts and enthusiasts to tell you about local walks, plants, birds, mammals and insects etc. And of course we have lots of related books for you to browse and borrow.
Do you have a bird feeder or bird bath in your garden?
Though they are a wonderful way to attract birds into your garden, it seems they may be transmitting a disease which is seriously damaging finch populations, particularly green finches and chaffinches. We are advised to wash baths and feeders once a week. It’s certainly true that chaffinches are no longer the common garden bird they used to be. A pity – they are so wonderfully curious……and if you do NOT have either of them, then how about borrowing Jen Green’s “How to Make 40 Beautiful Bird Boxes, Feeders and Birdbaths”?? It’s beautifully illustrated and you only need the most basic DIY tools.
Thanks for the comments so far…it’s so good to get the feedback.
More please!
