Feed The Birds - Let Them Know Its Christmas Time!!

It was like Bird Feeder Factory Production Line as the GKC Explorers set to work once again with the help of our Countryside Ranger Friends. Allison Greig and her Team allowed us to experience 'another' amazing space by creating our Bird Feeder Production Plant in the very heart of our Green Space Pollok Park. As the frost lay like a wintery blanket all around us we made our way towards the gardens and poly tunnel with jackets zipped, jumpers tucked and gloves on! Little did we know Ranger Greig and her team had a yet another surprise in store!! A Huge White Green House filled with everything we would need for todays tasks was laid before us! Frost danced in patterns on the outside of the windows as the branches of the trees glistened and swayed into the winter sun. But inside we were warm and ready for action as the Greenhouse was heated and the hot chocolate flowed!!! Christmas songs filled the air as we worked with the help of Allison, Gavin, Linzi and Fiona filling our pine cones with margarine or lard before coating them with delicious seeds and hanging them with string! We made Christmas Cards and Decorations with larger pine cones pasting them with clue and glitter and hanging them with coloured string! This was an excellent adventure into nature and Christmas but he real purpose of the day was yet to come.....
