WILDLIFE

Whilst Rope Yarn Corner can be cold and windswept in the winter, it becomes a suntrap in the summer! To provide the birds with natural shade and fresh fruit,  a wide variety of apples, pears, plums and cherries have been planted. Hopefully in coming years there will be surplus fruit available for sale on the field gate too.
     This, and the masses of fruit that grow in our hedgerows attract a large number of wild birds. Overhead red kites can often be seen as they soar and glide, on the lookout for an easy meal, on a good day there can be as many as fifteen together in the sky above us.
