We have a number of wildlife specific areas on site and are also actively working to expand the wildlife corridors across the site as a part of the future development of the allotments. We would really appreciate updates throughout the year of anything you’ve seen that you think of interest or that is noteworthy. Either inform a committee member or tell us online here: Contact Form
2025
Tomasz (Plot 107, East) has had an abundance of wildlife visit his plot throughout 2025. The following are a few of the videos he has captured, including rabbits, hedgehogs, a fox, Blue Tits in his nesting box and even some baby squirrels nesting in the shed.
On Plot 32, East, I have and old gas BBQ that hasn’t been used for years. I noticed at the end of 2024 something had been nesting in it. The culprit (Wren) returned in 2025 and I was lucky enough to capture the following pictures and video.

See the Scarlet Tiger Moth. Sandy found it while weeding the Raspberries. Isn’t it beautiful. We must be doing something right on the allotments. It loves nettles and comfrey which we have round and about.
