Garden birds have been given a helping hand this winter by some young bird lovers.
At a Manx Wildlife Trust workshop held at St John’s Methodist Church hall, youngsters created a number of items to give our feathered friends a boost and learned how to identify the birds that they see in their gardens.
During the afternoon session, the group designed window scarers to help birds avoid big picture windows and patio doors, got messy making pine cone feeders with lard bird cake and upcycled a plastic bottle to make a seed bird feeder.
The workshop was led by Manx Wildlife Trust biodiversity officer Dawn Dickens.
