Ladybird Rescue!
Posted
on
Each year a local farmer generously donates chaff from the rapeseed harvest. This provides a valuable food source for birds, particularly finches, over the winter months. The chaff is donated in large dumpy bags and must be bagged up into smaller sacks for storage.
This year one of our younger volunteers spotted some ladybirds amongst the chaff and set about rescuing them.
They were carefully relocated to a new habitat.
With many hands, the task was completed in no time. Thank you to everyone involved in this important annual job!
