Nature in Ryde Cemetery
Birds, Bugs & Animals
We regularly see the green woodpecker swooping over the graves and there are many blackbirds, tits, crows, robins, sparrows and greenfinches. We have also spotted jays, sparrow hawks, goldfinches and magpies.

So far we have never seen a snake in the Cemetery but there are slow worms.

There are wild (or semi-wild) cats that frequent the Cemetery and the garden of the Lodge, as do hedgehogs and mice and there is at least one resident fox, often heard on winter nights but rarely seen.
