There is a great range of wild life along the Ecclebourne Valley Railway. There are pair of Buzzards, foxs, Badgers, Hares, rabits, phesents and many birds. That is after we have cleared a lot of vegitation.

One of the best ways to see the wild life is when driving our Road/Rail Dumper, it doesn't seem to worry the wild life. Having said that I remember a fox ambling accross one of the foot crossings as I was approaching with with our Ruston Shunter,"Faraday", good for a heady 8mph uphill. Judging from the distainful look on the fox's face it was aware that it had plenty of time to get accross!

Best wishes,

John H-T.
