ALT PSA: HELP THE BIRDS! The RSPB have issued new bird feeding guidance to protect birds from a highly contagious disease called trichomonosis. Please don't feed the birds in the cemetery from 1st May to 31st October. If food is left, even for other wildlife, ensure it's left safely and: 🐦Not left on flat surfaces (i.e. tree stumps) where old food can collect or get damp. 🐦Not at the base of trees where bird droppings can collect. 🐦Left somewhere different each time to prevent contaminated debris build-up, or lots of birds gathering at once.
