Sparham Hall Farm is very traditional farm.  It has a mixture of floodplain water meadows, woods, lakes, river and the arable land is host to an array of birds, mammals, insects and flowers.

​

210 bird species, 450 plants, 900 moths as well as numerous butterflies and Dragonflies which have been recorded over the years.

​

We aim to give interested guests an introduction to these natural wonders. A moth light is run most nights and in the morning a stunning amount of these beautiful and somewhat unknown insects can be viewed before release. Bring a camera as there are terrific photo-opportunities. Over 100 species can be recorded on a warm night.

​

A walk around the grass margins can reveal 7 Orchid species depending on the season and a wide spectrum of rare and declining arable flora, and this will take in the areas where habitat restoration is taking place.

​

A quiet walk around the lakes can give sightings of the elusive, but resident, Otters: and in the evenings we can watch badgers coming out of their setts.

The exact itinerary of what we look at, and when, will depend on the weather and season.
