A 50m dividing wall by Gitta Gschwendtner in Cardiff Bay, doubles up as a home for up to 1000 birds and bats. The wall acts as a divider between a residential development and the water front in Century Wharf. It was commissioned by Charles Church Developments because of concern over the depletion of the natural bird habitat in the Cardiff Bay area.

The wall offers a choice of different sized homes made out of woodcrete (a mixture of wood and concrete). Nesting should begin next spring and it is expected to house a wide variety of bats, starlings, sparrows and blue and gray tits.
