The Wimbledon Common Nature Club, supported by the London Wildlife Trust, held an event on March 2 where children crafted bird feeders from recycled materials like juice cartons and yogurt pots. They learned about the significance of aiding birds in winter when food sources are limited, and mixed various seeds to fill their homemade feeders. Club leader Auriel Glanville expressed enthusiasm about the children's engagement, and the club is seeking volunteers for future activities, including an egg-themed event on April 6.
Auriel Glanville, club leader, stated, 'We had a great morning making bird feeders to help our feathered friends survive at a difficult time of year for them, which the children so loved doing and looked forward to hanging them up in their gardens and putting on window sills.'
The young naturalists discussed the importance of helping birds find food during the colder months when insects are scarce, which spurred their excitement to create feeders.
