In
November 2007 the group organised a Bat Box construction event which
was held at Perton library. Again, we were enormously grateful to
B&Q Springvale ( Wolverhampton ) store who generously donated both
wood and fixings to enable the project to go ahead.
The pictures below show some of the happy visitors who built boxes and also the group's committee with the result, more than 14 bat boxes to be installed in Bluebell Walk.   Back in February 2007, with the kind donation of materials from B&Q Wolverhampton the group were able to install a series of nestboxes in Perton's Bluebell Walk. These children are busy building one of the boxes during our event at Perton Library.  On a sunny day in late February the installation team went to work. This project was carried out in accordance with guidelines from the RSPB and BTO. This picture shows Tina Moore, on ladder, with David & Judy Naylor, front, Catherine Painter, Carole Davies and others.   Following observation in late March 2007 the Group were delighted to discover that several of the boxes are being used by Blue Tits. ( See above right ). Six boxes were installed, five of them were occupied. Wild About Perton were invited by South Staffordshire District Council and Perton Parish Council to become involved in the replanting of a roundabout on The Parkway, near Stephenson Drive. This project was Council funded with Wild about Perton providing the man (and woman) power. The team are show in action below.  |
