National Birdbox Week

It may be National Birdbox Week, but the birds in my garden think they can find their own nesting places thank you. One of our robins has been very busy transporting nesting material into the ivy in the courtyard garden and a blackbird has found a similar spot high up on the front wall.  It reminds me that, despite its bad press, ivy is a wonderful plant for the wildlife. If you are looking for a nesting box  visit www.recyclingwood.org.uk – it’s a wonderful social project producing stylish and practical products – including birdboxes.
