An extraordinary 14 Friends – an extraordinary  number and 14 extraordinary people – took part in an ad hoc litterpick this morning and made a really good job picking up many bags of litter.  Thank you to everyone – the woods look a lot better than before, and I am sure that the hedgehogs, squirrels and other animals in the woods really appreciate the improvement!

Someone had generously dumped 3 old televisions at the side of Crag Lane which we decided to leave till a later date.

Seven of us spent the afternoon putting up 19 nest boxes along the Meanwood Valley Trail and a bat box (with the batboxes we put up last year).

We put up 1 robin box, 1 starling box and 17 titboxes – with a variety of sizes of entrance holes.

An enjoyable morning making 19 tit boxes under the expert tutellage of Steve Joul!

A big thank you to Leeds City Council for providing the wood, to Andrew Jellings for cutting the planks to the correct size, and to Ian Hamilton for drilling all the holes.

But chiefly a big thank you to everyone who turned up and made the morning a great success.
