Beskrivning

Dunsford Wood is owned by the National Trust but is managed by Devon Wildlife Trust. The wood mainly comprises of Sessile Oak (Quercus petraea) with an area of heathland at it's Northwestern end and the river Teign runs along it's Southern border.

The wood can get VERY BUSY during Spring due to the flowering of extensive 'carpets' of Daffodil's (Narcissus pseudonarcissus), a visit earlier in the day will give you the best chance of seeing the increasingly rare mindre hackspett. The area also has regular sightings of Otter (Lutra Lutra), Fallow Deer (Dama Dama) and has a number of the near threatened Wood Ant (Formica rufa).

The wood has had a long study of svartvit flugsnappare with strömstare, storskrake, forsärla, gulärla, Sädesärla ssp yarrellii, entita, talltita and trädpiplärka all regularly seen.
