Other Animals

The work carried out by the eco watch group focuses on specific species that are already present on the estate and those we hope to encorage.

Good management of meadows and woodlands helps butterfly populations. The White Admiral is a Dartington rarity.

There are far more dragonfly species than many people realise. The Estate's wetlands are ideal breeding grounds.

Reptiles are rare on the Estate. They deserve special conservation measures

The amphibians are in decline too. They are a fascinating group of species in the throes of a serious global decline.

Believed to have escaped from a private collection in the upper reaches of the River Dart. Approach with caution or a large lump of raw meat.
