The dyke


The wild area along the dyke provides a good wildlife corridor through the farm. The field dyke drains water away from the fields but also provides homes, food and shelter for many species of plant and animal.

  • Partridges are birds of the field edge and enjoy the shelter provided by the dyke vegetation.
