Budby is the largest area of historic heathland in the Midlands, blended with ancient woodland. Eurasian Nightjar, Wood Lark and Tree Pipit make the most of the heath through summer. In winter, Common Crossbill and flocks of Eurasian Siskin flit through the remnant pines and birch trees. Other birds you can see here are Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, Yellowhammer, Eurasian Woodcock, Goldcrest, Tawny Owl, Short-eared Owl, Common Buzzard and Eurasian Kestrel.
