Beschreibung
Woodland (mostly Scots Pine and Silver Birch) and dry heath (mostly heather and bracken) surround an acid mire of shallow peat. This combination of habitats supports numerous unusual species and is the largest of it's kind in the area, therefore it has been designated as a SSSI.
Heidelerche, Baumpieper and Fichtenkreuzschnabel are all possible and on a summer night Ziegenmelker, Waldschnepfe and Waldkauz are likely seen or heard. Both Buntspecht and Grünspecht are present year round, as well as other forest species such as Eichelhäher. Kuckuck and Rohrweihe are both common in the summer. There is a notable population of breeding Brandgans as well as a colony of Uferschwalbe.
