Wildlife in grounds at Villa

All olive trees have been harvested. Spring time is heavenly - all the spring flowers take your breath away.Orchids are abundant all over the grounds. Bee orchids, snake head orchids and a large orchid with a pink blush.


We have been visited by wild boars numerous times. they come to forage for truffles underneath the olive trees. The family of boar include a father, mother and their seven babies. we normally see them at dawn, just before the sun rises.

At sunset there are three groups of Jackals who howl to let the other groups know where they are. This is like a high pitched wolf howl and doesn't last long.

We have seen brown eagles, buzzards and various owls.

There are of course lizards and snakes. They soon go when they know your'e there.
