Birds' nest at pub.

A VARIETY of birds could be feathering their nests in St Fagans next spring, thanks to a local inn championing the RSPB's cause.

The Plymouth Arms in Crofty-Genau Road, Cardiff, has erected a nesting box in its grounds, even though the mating season is 10 months away.

Landlord Brian Penfound said: ``The RSPB has asked us to put nesting boxes up now because it gives birds the maximum possible time to familiarise themselves with the location and reassure themselves that the surroundings are safe.'' Nesting boxes can be purchased directly from the RSPB, by visiting www.rspb.org.uk.
