Birds

Treecreeper

The Treecreeper (Certhia familiaris) also known as the Eurasian treecreeper can be seen in the woods around the Pelhams.

However it rarely makes a sound and is quite hard to spot running up and down the bark of a tree.

Brent Pelham

Piers Shonks

Piers Shonks was a twenty-three foot tall giant who lived on an island in Shonks' Moat, Peppsall Field. One day, whilst out hunting, he encountered a ferocious dragon and with an arrow killed it.

Furneux Pelham

Stocking Pelham

"Three Good Companions"

Arthur Mee's "Hertfordshire" describes it as follows: "Stocking Pelham. It has three good companions, a little church, a barn about twice as big, and the rectory still guarded by part of its old moat. Read more...

Animals

Hare

The Brown Hare (Lepus europaeus) is larger, longer-eared, and longer-legged than a rabbit. It has a body size of 50-70 cm and a tail length of 7-11 cm.

The weight for a full-grown adult ranges from 2.5 to 6.5 kg. It can run at speeds of up to 70 km/h (45 mph)

Normally shy animals, hares change their behaviour in Spring, when they can be seen in broad daylight chasing one another around the fields in the Pelhams; this appears to be competition between males to attain dominance (and hence more access to breeding females).

Insects

Nursery Web Spider

Nursery Web Spider (Pisaura mirabilis)
