Jay House Lane

Friday, 1 October 2010

Just spent an interesting morning (in the rain) discussing the hedge laying as part of the project to enhance the area for tree sparrows. I met up with Hugh, Caroline, Robin and Chris from Countryside and some guys from a forestry contractor.
They are going to re-lay the hedge on one side of the lane in 2 sections (1 this Jan. and the rest next Jan.)It may look a bit drastic for a while, but there are plenty of other places for the birds to nest in the area. In any case many of them nest in the houses and these will not be affected.
This has been a good breeding year for the spaarrows with quite a number of them having several broods.
We may be asking for volunteers to help with the laying. Watch this space.
