PRIMARY school pupils have hatched a plan to get a close-up view of chicks being born and reared.

Members of the eco club at Leigh and Bransford Primary School in Leigh Sinton, Malvern, came up with the idea of fitting a video camera in a bird box in the school’s garden.

They have already dug a trench for the cables to run through and will be putting the bird box in place for the spring.
