ROSSENDALE folk took part in Rossendale Groundwork's birdbox-making day at the countryside centre.

The annual practical workshop gave visitors the opportunity not only to make a standard nestbox from the kits provided, but also to receive information on special 'designer' birdboxes that can be made at home or bought from specialist suppliers.

Project officer Lesley Bloor is seen helping David Speechly, nine, with his effort.
