JONESFOR ALL YOUR BUILDINGAND ROOFING NEEDS
Termyn Gwari Fleghes(children’s playtime, in Cornish)November is the start of winter, and already the weather is getting colder.Many of the trees near my house have lost their leaves already and thoseleaves that are still on the trees are changing to brown, yellow and orange.By the end of November, most deciduous trees will be bare for the winter.I see that many of you used colourful leaves in your artwork for the villagecompetition, which had so many brilliant entries.I have started filling up my bird feeders already because the weather hasbeen quite cold and windy. For the rest of the winter the garden birds reallyenjoy food put out for them, as it can be very difficult for small creatures tofind enough food as the weather gets colder and colder. I put out bird seed,peanuts and fat balls mainly, with scraps like bread, bacon rinds, old applesand stale cake (not that there is much of that!) Also, especially importantwhen the weather becomes really cold and icy, I put out fresh water. Anotherthing to remember is that if you start feeding birds, please keep it up, asthey do learn to depend on the food and water you provide.If you have bird nest boxes, now is a good time to check them and cleanthem out. If anything is broken or cracked, you can repair it (possibly withadult help, if you need to use sharp tools) and replace the box. It’s a goodidea to take out old nesting material - it would be a good idea to wear glovesbecause there may be sharp bits and bugs in the old nest. When the boxis empty, give it a scrub out, then put a bit of hay or dry grass in the boxand refix it where it came from. Sometimes birds will roost in the nest boxesfor shelter in really rough weather, so always put them back before winter.One birdwatcher counted 62 wrens in 1 nestbox, one cold winter night!!Luckily wrens are very very small!As the evenings get darker earlier and you can’t go outside so much, it’s avery good time to look at books and websites about nature, to find out moreabout how we can look after this wonderful world we live in.The North Cornwall Book Festival NewsThe North Cornwall Book Festival is postponed until 7 th - 10 th October 2021 and until then we are providing on-linecontent for you to view in the form of a series of short films.
