Wildlife

We're very lucky here with the fantastic amount of Wildlife we have on the farm here, this was brought back to me as I walked Sunny up the drive to turn him out this morning and bumped into 3 roe deer coming the other way, A mature female Peregrine flew over as I walked back (an immature one came and mobbed Galahad as he was doing the daily display at Bovey castle this morning as well).
Our bog area is mannaged pureley for wild life and is a site of international importance for the Marsh fritilery and other butterflies,and we had hobbies hunting over it during tthe summer we have Ravens nesting at one end of the farm , buzzards at the other, two pairs of sparrowhawks, and last month we saw a goshawk passing through.
All in all it's not a bad place to work
