Lucy Bailey, six, won the wild bird colouring competition staged by South Downs Nurseries.

The Hassocks garden centre hosted the competition to mark National Nest Box Week.

Rebecca Houghton-Knapp, from the Brighton Road business, said: “We had an enormous response and it was hard to pick a winner.

“Her grandad, Colin Bailey (aged 72 and three quarters), from Hassocks completed an entry too, so it was only fair that he received a prize (cream tea for two) as well.”
