Birds in Bolsover are getting a treat this Valentines! 🥰
Residents have created some heart-shaped bird feeders to feed our feathered friends 🐦
Once set, residents will place them out into our lovely garden for the birds to enjoy.
Residents are excited to help the wildlife and this also marks the start of our Valentines activities (we do love a good theme!). 💖
