Bug house


Latest garden project is construction of a bug house

Made from plywood and self-tapping screws.
Bird box in roof gable
... and hedgehog house in the base
(enter through tunnel bottom left, turn right into chamber).
Based on these plans from RSPB.

Filling all the cells is a work in progress.
Chicken wire retains things that would otherwise flop out (thanks Struth Ravem, Beeston FREE-Recycle).
Pine cones and straw foraged from Nottingham University Park campus;
twiggy stuff from A52 verges just south of Dunkirk flyover, of all places.
