WILDLIFE TO LOOK OUT FOR IN AUGUST

We have lots of deer on the farm and many have young calves.  There are three types of deer, the most common is the Fallow which can be brown with white spots or even very dark, we have Roe deer which are the only native deer on the farm and these are chestnut brown with white rear ends and very occasionally Muntjac which are very small and rarely seen.  The Drove is an excellent place to see deer, but they can be seen anywhere on the farm.

 

Both Badgers and Barn Owls will have young during August and you have an excellent chance of seeing them, but they are mostly active just before dusk.  Plover, Pylon and Barn Owl meadow are good places to see barn owls, whilst Badgers can often be seen at the top of Swishback but you will need to be quiet to see either species.
