Young people who attended the weekly Wild Wednesday family event at Bowlees Visitor Centre last week helped build bird scarers,to stop the feathered friends from crashing into the centre’s windows.
Natural England’s Emma King said the phenomenon had only started recently and might be caused by the tint in the windows which reflects nearby trees confusing the birds.
Other activities on the day included messy mud painting and creating temporary art installations using natural materials.
A unique feature of the day was the creation of sound cards.
Ms King said: “They sit with their eyes closed and then draw what they hear.”
The finished cards were then stamped and posted to a loved one.
