Make a bird house
A nesting box is a great way of attracting birds into your garden in the spring and summer. It not only gives you the pleasure of watching them but also gives the birds a home close to plenty of garden insects to feast upon. Well constructed, the box should last for years and provide a cosy home for generations of birds.
