Little Bird Event

Corsock Hall

Join us as we create make bird feeders and nest boxes for the little birds who visit our gardens. The event is inspired by recent work at Glaisters Bridge Community Woodland Site, and draws upon natural materials and approaches where possible. During this hands-on workshop, you’ll be guided by Martha Schofield on how to create your own willow weave fat ball feeder; Joe Seed will take you through the steps to make your own wooden bird box, and you are invited to help create a large woven willow frame for a Willow Tit nest with Kerry Morrison.   At the end of the day, you’ll get to take home your little bird creations. A chance to get crafty, and just a little bit festive!The Willow Tit nest, or willow-titery-tree as we like to call it, will be located in a wet habitat where Willow Tits have been sighted. The Willow Tit is the fasted declining resident bird species in the UK. It’s red listed. They are exceptionally rare and sadly, in Scotland, now only found in the Southwest. Dumfries and Galloway is one of the places you might catch a glimpse of the Willow Tit. They live in saturated, scrubby places like wet woodlands, and build their nests in standing dead wood. One of the reasons for their dramatic decline is the removal of dead trees and habitat loss, so we are doing what we can to help the Willow Tit thrive in D&G.  This event funded thanks to support from The Glenkens & District Trust, as part of the 'Glaisters bridge - An Exemplar Community Woodland' project. Event includes lunch provided at the hall, and refreshments upon arrival. (Photo:https://www.songbird-survival.org.uk/songbirds/willow-tit)
