Build a Scarecrow

Our Build a Bug children's activity at Thornham was very successful: we had 32 children joining us for the event. The rain cleared away just in time for us and some weird and wonderful bugs were made by the youngsters.

We have had an invasion of 7-spot ladybirds over the last week or so. Millions have been crossing the North Sea from the Continent. It is also the best year for a long time for Painted Lady butterflies. These are also migrants that breed in this country and there are thought to be around a billion in the Britain at the moment.

Our next children's activity is Scarecrow Building on Monday the 10th August at Thornham Walks. The event is from 2pm to 4pm and the cost is £3 for children with accompanying adults free. Scarecrows can either be taken home or will be put up around Thornham. Please bring some old clothes to dress the scarecrow. For more information call 01379 788345.
