Description
Allenbanks is a good site for the 'woodland four' of Pitulice sfârâitoare, Codroș de pădure, Muscar negru and Fâsă de pădure, though the first and last have become scarce or even missing in recent years, perhaps due to disturbance by the ever increasing number of dog walkers. Also good for breeding Fluierar de munte, Pescărel negru, Codobatură de munte and Muscar sur.
