Day 18
After yesterday, we needed to try harder.
So we headed to the shops to buy a sandwich tray. . . . . A bit weird, but stick with me!
Using sand from our old sandpit, we put a shallow layer in the bottom of the tray.
We spread it out thinly, then placed our bird food in the middle.
Hopefully when we have some visitors they will leave footprints.
If the sand doesn't work we might try compost with some water, yes a mud pie!
I like this, it'll be interesting to see what footprints you get.
ReplyDeleteWe had a blackbird almost straight away, when we went to check out his footprints we added some more water to our sand. Later on when we checked it, it had lots of bird foot prints!! Definately worth a go. Sarah
DeleteClever. Wonder what visitors you will get.
ReplyDeleteWe've had lots of birds. Although I do wish they'd tread carefully, it would make much better footprints!! Sarah
DeleteGood Idea Sarah,I have thought of doing a foot print trap, or a fall pit trap. Amanda xx
