Task - Installing nest boxes for birds

On the 19th March CROW visited Caversham Court where seven nest boxes were installed, before moving on to Forbury Gardens where a further four boxes were to be located. The boxes, of various types, were provided by Reading Borough Council and came from alana ecology.

Footnote. On a visit to Caversham Court on the 23rd April 2008, blue tits were observed visiting one of the boxes we had installed.

Apology. In the original version of this page it was stated that this task took place in 1708. This was an error and we would like to apologise to anyone who we unintentionally mislead.
