Wildlife of The Forest at Pinewood Lodge

Wildlife at The Forest Bed and Breakfast

In the garden we experience occasional visits from foxes as well as monkjack (muntjac) and roe deer. The deer have a special fondness for cherry leaves. Squirells are always to be seen as are jays, crows and woodpeckers.

Geese from the nearby park fly over in formation almost every day

The chance combinations of sunlight through leaves, mist and wildlife encounters can create magical moments in our immediate environment.

We look forward to welcoming you to stay at The Forest Bed and Breakfast

Here's a picture of a recent visitor nicknamed 'Trag' (seen by our guests a number of times in mid November 2005). He stood about 18 inches high, walked mostly, but flew up to roost in trees or for safety. We had one sighting of him flying between trees. He was either a young crimson bellied or crimson crested tragopan, a native of Tibet and China. The surround of his eyes was a dramatic silvery blue with crimson crests on the top of his head that would do a punk rocker proud. more about the Tragopan

Please note the visit of deer is erratic and seasonal and visitors are unlikely to see them by the house on any particular visit. Recent visitors who walked in the forest have had sightings of the roe deer.
