| Wildlife |
| Grizedale Forest and its farmed valleys are home to a healthy variety of British wildlife. Red and Roe deer abound and there are badgers, foxes, polecats, and the occasional otter, though of course you’ll be lucky to spot them. |
| |
| Red squirrels still survive in the forest along with greys. The birdlife is a feature of the area, with a wide range of woodland, farmland and hedgerow birds, and of course the dramatic raptors. |

| At our feeders at Pepper House we see a good variety of birds at close quarters; we have even had the elusive Hawfinch, and at certain times, a Reed Bunting. |

Bird watching
There are several RSPB reserves on the periphery of the Lake District, around Morecambe Bay - notably Leighton Moss. At Hawes Water you may be lucky to glimpse England's only Golden Eagle, whilst at Bassenthwaite Lake in the summer, you can watch ospreys fishing.
