Spotting Wildlife

We have started logging all wildlife we spot at Mazzard Farm, and are encouraging our guests to help us with this. Did you see anything not on this page, or even better, did you take a picture? Please let us know on info@mazzardfarm.com. We have recently had a wildlife audit completed, informing us of what flora, fauna and wildlife can be enjoyed at Mazzard Farm itself. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Whatever you are after, it can most likely be found in East Devon, inland or on the coast.

At Mazzard

Spring Animals

Deer, Badger, Robin, Bats (Pipistrelle), Blackbird, Buzzards (we have at least one family nesting annually in our woods), Great Spotted Woodpecker, Jay, Pheasant, Great Tit. We are dead excited that not only have the swallows returned to Mazzard Farm after 2008′s extensive building works, they are also nesting, as are gorgeous families of Wagtails and Coal Tits.
