Our Bird Population Needs You!
As a village community we need to do all we can to help our fast diminishing wildlife. In the UK our wildlife population has declined by an average of 19% since 1970, and the number is accelerating rather than slowing.
Some of the hardest hit species are within our bird population; for example House Martins and Swifts are suffering declines exceeding 50% in recent decades.
The installation of bird boxes is a very valuable and tangible way we can help. The boxes themselves are readily available – erecting them in the eaves of houses or higher up in the trees for example is more of a challenge!
With this in mind we would like to offer to erect a number of bird boxes across Willington – to be financed through the Parish Council.
If you would like to participate in this initiative please drop John Lindsay a text on 07850 781174 with your name and number – and he will be in touch.
