		Otters have undergone a serious decline and are present along the Dartington stretch of The River Dart.
		Dormice are officially endangered in the UK but populations are present in the Dartington woodlands.
		Lesser horseshoe bats are a protected species and roost on the Dartington estate.
		Brown hares need habitat diversity within agricultural land to expand their populations.
		For such large animals roe deer are extremely elusive and always a special sight.
		There is a big population of badgers on the Dartington estate - and a great opportunity for monitoring studies.
