FAMILIES visiting Green Oaks Shopping Centre in Widnes got the chance to learn more about the wildlife on their doorstep during the summer holidays.

Representatives from charity the RSPB made bird feeders with visitors as well as showing children how to give wildlife a better home at home with demonstrations running throughout the day.

A spokesman added: "The RSPB will also be raising funds for its ongoing work as the country's largest nature conservation charity, inspiring everyone to give nature a home.

"Together with its partners, the RSPB protect threatened birds and wildlife so towns, coast and countryside will teem with life once again."
