In this session we’ll be making something to feed the birds and take home. It’s a fantastic way to encourage birds to your garden and have a closer look at the species that share your local area. 
 

This event is part of the Norwich Science Festival, presented by The Forum, Norwich, and a partnership of organisations and institutions including Norwich Research Park and the University of East Anglia.
