Skylarks nest in the fields. Goldfinches, Linnets and Fieldfare are frequent visitors. There are dozens of birds to be seen and heard.
Look for the Kestrels in fields 2 and 3. At dawn or dusk you may see the Barn Owls hunting. You will see and hear Greater Spotted Woodpeckers or catch a glimpse of Green Woodpeckers as they flit from hedgerow to hedgerow laughing at you as they go.
From late April listen for the Cuckoo, many hear it but few see it.

Throughout the year there is a diversity of wildlife, trees and flowers, spectacular sunsets and wonderful views. To the north, the Cotswold Hills and to the west, Fairford and beyond.
