Patch - 2016

Lotmead Farm is situated just east of the A419 between Dorcan and Wanborough and is open to the public from June to the end of October.

The Farm has a Business Village, a Dairy Farm, Farm Animals, Summer Fayres, Pick your own Strawberries, Fruit & Veg, and also a Bird Sanctuary. Their website is Here.

I feel quite privileged in that the owner Norman and the Manager John have allowed me to record the Wildlife on site throughout the year.

So if you're on Facebook, then don't forget to have a look at the sightings on their page Here, which will be updated periodically.
