Birds and Bats
To keep our birds happy, we make sure we regularly hang out tasty treats for them to come and
peck at. Fruit, nuts, seeds, insects, and fat balls are often hung out in trees or spread on empty tree
stumps for birds, squirrels and hedgehogs to come and munch on.
We are planning to place planter trays on tree stumps that are filled with water to act as bird baths
for them to have a splash around or a refreshing drink.
Fitted on trees are some bird and bat boxes. These are dotted around the cemetery, and two have
been placed on the back of the Peace Garden. We have found that birds often use the boxes as we
have seen them flying to and from them with twigs and insects.
We have had a range of birds in Wombwell Cemetery, from great spotted woodpeckers to parrots
and pheasants. Our main residents are wood pigeons, robins, blackbirds, swallows, sparrows, tits
and crows.
