After putting some bird feeders up at the Salford Asphalt plant, the team have enjoyed visits from a wide variety of birds, including a Woodpecker!

The Woodpecker seems to be a local resident and is visiting the feeders most days.

Phil Repton, Plant Manager, commented: “Installing bird feeders is such a simple thing to do and has had a very positive impact for the local birdlife.

The feeders are located by the canteen so we can watch the birds enjoying their lunch as we do ourselves – we’ve spotted all sorts of birds; Blue Tits, Robins and now our star guest – the Woodpecker! This is even more impressive when you consider our town centre location.

The team have even been buying the birdseed with their own money to keep our feather friends happy.”
