We've long wanted a new viewing screen for the reserve, to replace the one by the Hugging Tree. Something to brighten things up in winter and be functional for all our visitors - not just those of a certain height!
We were very lucky to be offered help with this by RSPB Loch Leven volunteer, David, who travelled all the way down to Sandwell to give us a hand for two days.
Along with our regular volunteers, Brian, Tony, Dave and estate worker Paul, David created this magical nature scene. They were inspired by creatures found at Sandwell Valley, so all of the shapes you see should also be elsewhere on the reserve too!
They're intentionally positioned at various heights so that children of all ages will be able to spot the amazing birds that visit Sandwell, and have fun while they're doing so.
Have you seen it yet? Tried it out? We'd love to see photos of you making good use of it and hear which is your favourite shape!
Find us one Facebook HERE and follow us on Twitter HERE.
