We had a little overnight trip to Edinburgh last weekend. Our train was delayed for about half an hour so we spent more time waiting on the platform at our local station, Alnmouth, than we would have done normally.
I noticed that some brightly coloured bird boxes have been put up on the fences that run along the side of the platform.
I’m not sure who put them there. Maybe it’s a project by a local school.
All the boxes are painted in different colours and designs.
In the short time I was there didn’t see any birds using them, but I hope they do.
They certainly add a bit of colour to the station, and what a lovely way to encourage our nesting birds.
