With the help local experts we have been
recording wildlife since 2000. This has meant we can monitor
progress in our target to improve biodiversity on the farm.
We have detailed
records of birds (including owls), bats, insects (moths,
butterflies, hoverflies, dragonflies) and flowers.
There are seven plots on the farm that have been sown with different
varieties of plants specifically for insects, birds and mammals.
Besides being good habitat it will produce winter feed.
There are also two hectares of land
managed specifically for lapwings, to encourage them to nest, and a
further hectare planted with clovers and vetches for Bumble Bee's.
