Description
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.
Wood Lark, Tree Pipit and Common Crossbill are all possible and on a summer night Eurasian Nightjar, Eurasian Woodcock and Tawny Owl are likely seen or heard. Both Great Spotted Woodpecker and Eurasian Green Woodpecker are present year round, as well as other forest species such as Eurasian Jay. Common Cuckoo and Western Marsh Harrier are both common in the summer. There is a notable population of breeding Common Shelduck as well as a colony of Sand Martin.
