As part of National Wildlife Week, Sheffield's New Barrack Tavern is looking to attract a new sort of regular. Using nest boxes, feeding tables and flower tubs with bird attracting flora, Steph and Kevin Woods, pub managers, hope to play their part to increase the biodiversity of their urban environment.

The pub, part of the Yorkshire and East Midlands Castle Rock chain, has supported wildlife preservation for over four years through a range of 'wildlife' beers. With each of these, 10p per pint is donated to wildlife preservation and since its inception over £70,000 has been raised.

This month's beer is Linnet (the bird). This year has also seen a celebration of other local flowers and fauna including Charlock (a rare field plant), Fat Hen (another flowering grass), and Painted Lady (the butterfly).

Steph Woods says, "You might be surprised that a pub on a busy street and in the heart of a working area can do something like this. But there are a lot of birds and insects that I am sure our regulars will enjoy having as company as they sup a pint to two."

Sheffield Wildlife Trust would like to hear from people living in the city centre, without a garden, but who have managed to attract wildlife to their living space using other means, such as bird or window boxes. Or more unique ways like birds nesting in drainpipes. Email: a.nowell@wildsheffield.com
