Looking left from Image "This land was given to Torbay Coast & Countryside Trust to provide much-needed habitat for the greater horseshoe bat and cirl bunting. The fields are grazed by the Trust’s organic ‘Ruby Red’ Devon cattle and the hedges allowed to grow tall and bushy. This will encourage an abundance of large insects including dung beetles, cockchafers and moths, which provide food for bats. The land is managed specifically for cirl buntings too" https://www.countryside-trust.org.uk/explore/brixham/ .
