If you’ve ever spent time at Renishaw, you’ll know that wildlife isn’t just something we talk about – it’s something we live alongside, every single day.

One of the most extraordinary stories unfolding right now belongs to our resident Crowned Eagles, who have chosen the Renishaw farm as their nesting site once again this season.

Thanks to the dedicated watch of our resident birder, Tim McClurg, we’ve been able to quietly witness the entire life cycle:

For weeks, mum and dad have tirelessly provided for their young chick. Recently, Tim reported that the little one’s dark wing feathers have begun pushing through – a sure sign that it’s nearly strong enough to take its first flight.

Only a few more days in the nest… and then the adventure begins.

This extraordinary moment has become a magnet for birders and photographers, all drawn to Renishaw to experience nature at its most breathtaking.

If the Crowned Eagle is our royal guardian, then the Kingfishers are our jewels – flashing past in bursts of blue, chestnut, black and white.

Renishaw Hills wasn’t just designed for people. It was designed for life.

With 80% of our land preserved as conservation area, our estate has become a thriving habitat for:

  • Birdlife
  • Butterflies
  • Small mammals
  • Indigenous flora
  • And the people who appreciate them most

 

Many of our residents are passionate photographers and birders who spend sunrise and sunset capturing the beauty around them. On any day, you’ll find someone quietly watching a nest, spotting new species, or sharing their latest photo on the community groups.

It’s a lifestyle rooted in stillness, appreciation, and natural wonder.
