Thank you to Rory who brought in some beech husks from a walk in the park. I loved receiving a little envelope with a nature present inside! All the beech nuts were gone, so maybe a squirrel is saving them for a feast on a cold day…

This week we carried on our bird hunt. It was cloudy and cold and we didn’t see any red kites this week! We decided they prefer flying on a sunny day.

Because it was so cold this week we made some bird feeders from pine cones. The berries and nuts are in short supply now so they need some help from forest school.

We smeared the scales of the pinecone with high energy lard and then sprinkled on bird seed.

We hung them on the silver birch trees around the hive.
