New homes for birds and bats
With the support of the RSPB, birds and bats in Chipping now have some new homes. Sparrows like to live in communities so the RSPB provided terrace bird boxes like the one in this picture. We also hung nest boxes for swifts and ones with slits underneath for bats. The RSPB also supplied bird homes for Brabins School, so the pupils can monitor their use.
Preparing planters for our Coffee Morning
Preparation for our coffee morning started early this year, with preparing colourful planters ready for sale. We have also been hard at work splitting and potting up perennials and creating crafty items.
The Coffee Morning is on Saturday 22nd March at the Village Hall. Looking forward to seeing everyone there from 10am.
