We have Turtle doves, 23 Nightingale territories, several pairs of breeding barn owls that can often be seen hunting at dusk, tawny owls, kestrels, warblers and finches. We have recently found not only wild honey bees and bumble bees but also rare Long-horned bees foraging in our field-edge brambles. Grass snakes and slow worms are regularly seen, along with great crested newts and toads in the early spring. We have noted 26 species of butterfly around the farm and its woodlands to date. Marbled White are numerous alongside Ringlets, Meadow Browns, Small Coppers, Blues and Skippers. Grizzled Skippers were seen regularly until the last two summers giving rise to concern. Purple Hairstreak can be found in the tops of the oak trees. Other woodland butterflies include Silver Washed Fritillary and White Admiral. Dormice and Harvest Mice are regularly encountered.
