This week over in Ashford the animal care work experience students have been carrying out a very special project Brogwatch! Like the BBC's Springwatch the students have built and now installed wildlife havens from bug hotels to hedgehog houses. They have even built a sophisticated bird house that has the added benefit of a wildlife camera inserted so they can capture any nesting birds. Two other cameras around the site will hopefully capture any creatures that wish to make Stourside their home and we hope to share those images with you over the coming weeks. Well done guys Craftworks College - Brogdale CIC
