Mammals A – Z
Apart from the approximately 1400 of us who call Wellington our home for most of the year, there are various other mammals who share their lives with us, some more obvious than others.
There is a thriving population of Roe Deer and Muntjac that live in the woods and on the golf course. Mostly active before dawn and dusk, they can sometimes be seen if disturbed moving from cover around some of the boarding houses set near the woods.
Grey Squirrels are in abundance either running along the ground with food in their mouths or high in the tree canopy feeding on new buds.
At night, foxes, badgers and bats will emerge to hunt and forage for food.
