Great Tits Moved In
The Boidier Hurst Bird Project is showing
signs of success as species are pairing up and
making the most of what the camp site has to
offer.
Over the last twelve months, Cubs and Scouts
have donated owl or bird nesting boxes to the
site and the Service Crew are pleased to confirm
that the first occupants are now under
surveillance. A pair of Great Tits have been
spotted flying in and out of the one tit box
adjacent to the main field on several
occasions.
If you are planning a trip to the site with
your Colony, Pack or Troop, why not take a few
minutes of quiet time with a few young people to
see if you can spot the hive of activity.
There are still dozens of prime locations
around the site where we could house other
nesting or roosting boxes so if you are looking
for an activity to compliment your program and
training scheme, why not build a box for Boidier!
Whether it's to house an owl, robin or bat,
plans are available to download from
www.boidierhurst.org.uk.
Recent News (April 2009) : There have been sightings
of Tawny Owls on the camp site and the Little Owls are
very noisy at present. Several of the owl boxes have been
damaged by the weather and squirrels in the last year so
any new boxes for the site would be greatly welcomed.
