Local Birds and Wildlife
Chepstow School is the first secondary school to have installed a bird box with a web cam!! We think that if we can observe and monitor the birds and wildlife at Chepstow School, we can create an environment that will suit them.
The bird box was installed in April and we are hoping to have some tennants very soon. Watch this space!
Birds most likely to nest include:
Yellow Tit, Blue Tit, Great Tit, House Sparrow
B & W NESTBOX CAMERA SYSTEM WITH AUDIO & IR
Great Tit
Predominantly a woodland bird, however they have been increasingly seen in gardens over the years. They have a distinctive yellow breast and belly with a black crown, nape and throat along with a black stripe down the centre. Males have a slightly larger strip than females. Great tits prefer wooded areas. They like nest boxes as they prefer the bigger holes than found in the wild. They do like Handykam boxes as they are an ideal size.
Blue Tit
Blue tits are one of the most popular song birds in the UK. With their distinctive blue, yellow and green appearance. If you have a feeder containing peanuts, then you are sure to see them. They are great fun to watch as well as hear their distinctive call around the garden. Blue tits are often seen in trees, hedgerows and gardens throughout the country.
What do they eat
They tend to go for insects, seeds and nuts. They are very partial to pecking at milk bottles that were once left on doorsteps.
Tips on how to attract birds
Attracting birds can very easy to do and don’t have to take much time, effort of money. By doing so, you will help your local birds as well a give you a lot of pleasure. Here are a few tips on how to help attract and keep birds visiting your garden.
Tip : Think of space for attracting birds to your garden.
What do we mean by space? Not that dark stuff in the sky, but giving your birds the right habitat to thrive in. The more inviting you make it, the more the birds will come and more enjoyment you will have. Most gardens may be restrictive in size, but you can think horizontally as well as vertically.
