You will recall reading Ray’s Farleigh Feathers article last year about the pear orchard between Kettle Lane and Gallants Lane being grubbed out – leading to the loss of winter habitat for Scandinavian redwings and fieldfares and our native thrushes – as well as for woodpeckers, wrens and tits in the summer.
To try and encourage these birds back to West Farleigh, the village Bloom team have bought some fruit trees from Keepers Nursery and planted them in the field above the cricket club (thank you, landowner) where they can be enjoyed by everyone as they watch the cricket or by those walking the footpath adjacent to it – and hopefully by flocks of birds!!
We hope everyone is loving the abundance of snowdrops, crocus and daffodils around the village – we can’t wait to see all the daffodils we planted along Lower Road, the start of Mill Lane, and around the cricket pitch gate at the bottom of Church Lane, as well as all the other bulbs on the Teston Lane Triangle and in the Churchyard.
