There is a wide range of wildlife that frequents the immediate area around the property, including deer, red squirrels, coypu as well as numerous birds such as woodpeckers, black kites, buzzards, kestrels, jays, kingfishers, hoopoe and amazingly bright yellow golden orioles.

There is an island just offshore that provides a home for numerous species of egret, grey and purple herons, cormorants, gulls, sandpipers and many other birds. The view is constantly changing with variations in light and the different seasons. The Garonne River is directly on the migration route of many birds including osprey which are often seen as they migrate south in July and August.
