Wildlife

You don't need to venture far from the Cottage to see wildlife.

Regular visitors into the garden or surrounding fields include:

 · Hares

 · Butterflies

 · Roe Deer

 · Hawks

 · Buzzards

 · Skylarks

Nocturnal visitors are:

 · Bats

 · Barn Owls

 · Tawny Owls

Every year one or more baby hares can be found in the garden.

During the night owls call in the trees nearby while bats circle under the trees feeding on insects

In the garden are many bird species that were once common everywhere including sparrows, blue tits,

great tits, wrens, yellow hammers and a variety of finches.

Pheasant wander the roads and come into the garden. Keep an eye out for them when driving they can

be a bit erratic.

We have a bat detector which allows you to hear the ultrasonic squeaks from bats. Most species of bat

use a different frequency to hunt for insects.
