Description
Lying on a low ridge between Canterbury and the sea, East Blean Wood is one of the richest of all Kent's woodland habitats. In spring there are carpets of bluebell under coppice trees of sweet chestnut and wood anemone under a canopy of oaks and hornbeam. Many oak trees have nesting holes for Great Spotted Woodpecker and Lesser Spotted Woodpecker. The bushy re-growth of coppice trees provide perfect nesting habitat for many species of bird including Common Nightingale and Blackcap which feed on the rich insect life. Other breeding birds include such typical deciduous woodland species as Sparrowhawk, Eurasian Woodcock and Tawny Owl. Passerines include Eurasian Nuthatch, Tree Pipit, Eurasian Treecreeper and Lesser Whitethroat.
