With the major Churchyard/field Restoration taking place, to improve the sight of the village and churchyard, we are also affecting some of the local wildlife homes. So to try and compensate for this we are in the process of building bird boxes which will be sited around the churchyard. Obviously this will not replace the old trees / brambles that they may have enjoyed using in the past, but at least we are trying to be a bit helpful towards wildlife.

Update - January 2007, 12 bird boxes have now been sited in various trees within the churchyard, all have numbers located on the front.

Left - Three different types of bird box has been made for use around the churchyard/field. On the far left is a box for Blue Tits, Coal Tits and Marsh Tits with a 25mm hole. On the far right is a box for Great Tits, with a 28-30mm hole and in the centre is a box for Wagtails, Robins and Flycatchers. We have four of each type at the moment.
