Chirpy Challenge For Young Bird Lovers At Braywick, Maidenhead

Young bird lovers are invited to Braywick Nature Centre, Maidenhead for two chirpy playday sessions during the February holiday (half-term).

Maidenhead Six to ten year olds can help birds with their nest building at two Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep playday sessions – on Tuesday February 14 and Wednesday February 15 (2 - 4pm) – to make bird bedding bundles from recycled materials for birds to build cosy homes.

Becca Flintham, Maidenhead countryside ranger, said: "As winter heads towards spring birds are hard at work finding food and building nests. At these fun sessions youngsters will learn about nesting birds and what they need to rear their young. We will look at several different nests and collect things that birds need to build them from Braywick Park, then we'll make nesting material holders that can be hung from trees in their gardens. Birds can collect the material from them which they need to build their nests."

Sessions cost £4 (£3.50 with Advantage Card). Places must be booked in advance on 01628 796227 (weekdays 9am – 5pm). For more information call Becca Flintham on 01628 777440.
