Wildlife Flora and Fauna
The Memorial Park attracts a wide variety of wildlife both birds insects and small mammals.
This is enhanced by the woodland, which acts as a wildlife oasis with its mature trees providing natural homes for birds and mammals. Nesting and roosting sites are being further enhanced by the inclusion of bird and bat bxes.
Nesting birds recorded in recent years include: carrion crows, magpies, wood pigeons, blackbirds, mistle thrush, song thrush, robins, wagtails, tree creepers, nuthatchs, starlings, bluetits and members of the finch family.
Close proximity to open farmland to the rear of the Park attracts numerous animals and birds. Mammals including badgers, foxes, rabbits, hares, weasels, stoats, gedgehogs, grey squirrels, mice and voles are regularly seen and bats can be seen feeding in the tree canopy during early evening.
