Ley Farm wins major Conservation Award
We (Sophia & me) were very surprised (and very chuffed) to win
the "senior" Devon FWAG conservation
and wildlife award especially after initially only entering in the "the
first steps in conservation award". Although we have always been
into wildlife & beautiful countryside & been in the Countryside
stewardship for many a year we didn't really believe we could win until
a friend entered us.
We are very proud of the many red listed birds here especially the Cirl
Buntings who bred here this year plus our resident Barn and Tawny Owls
which we hear the latter on many a night.We have many rare species
and plants including 3 endangered butterflies including Grizzelled
Skipper. Great Horseshoe bats feed in one of our valleys & in the
stubble field above a large flock of Sky Larks sing and the rare Weasel
Snout grows.
