Thanks to all those who came along for the Big Churchyard Birdwatch at the end of January. We saw 20 species of bird in the first hour and 18 in the second, plus had quite a few visitors enjoying Steve’s delicious soup and the cakes and hot drinks kindly provided by the Group. The results have been sent to the RSPB and all help illustrate which birds are doing okay and which are in decline – we did not see greenfinch for instance.
The churchyard is starting to look rather spring-like with snowdrops out and wild daffodils starting to bud. There may be a work party to prepare for some new trees being planted along the boundary. If you would like to help with any of the churchyard conservation work, you would be made most welcome. Please contact the Friends secretary for more information: 01603 715 804.
