Feathered friends feature in floral designs at the church

St Swithun’s Church in Sandy held its annual flower festival over the weekend and this year’s theme was Birds of a Feather.

It was chosen to complement the RSPB’s celebrations to mark 50 years at its headquarters at The Lodge this year.

Flower group organiser, Trixie Cooper, said: “Everyone seemed pleased and we got some nice compliments.

“There were about 20 arrangements; one of the seashore and a marsh, which portrayed the habitats. There were also garden birds and birds of prey including golden eagles and owls.”

The church holds a flower festival every year with a different theme and there is always a fete on the same weekend.
