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.
