Bird Boxes

We are fortunate in having a large variety of thriving song birds on the Common.  We believe that this is in part due to the provision of bird boxes that protect our birds during the nesting season from predators such as grey squirrels, magpies and domestic cats.  We have sited 52 boxes throughout the area which are checked at the end of the season to establish whether they have been used and, if so, the breed of bird making use of them.
