Bird box build day

Members of the Caithness Countryside Volunteers met last Sunday to build bird boxes.  The volunteers produced a number of standard bird boxes which will be used in Caithness woodlands by local bird ringers.

The event was organised by Countryside Ranger with The Highland Council’s Planning, and Development Service as part of the Caithness Countryside Volunteers programme of events.  Funding for the event was delivered through the Caithness Partnership Environmental Fund Programme, sponsored by Scottish Natural Heritage and Highland Leader.

Marina Swanson, Highland Council Countryside Ranger & event organiser said: “Many thanks to the volunteers who turned out on Sunday. The volunteers produced quality bird boxes which I’m sure the birds will greatly appreciate!”

The Caithness Countryside Volunteers is organised through the Highland Council Countryside Rangers and is always looking for new members. If you wish to find out more about the group, please contact Marina Swanson on 01955 607758 or e-mail marina.swanson@highland.gov.uk
