Descripción
Starting from the location of the former St Chad's Church. The last church on this site was demolished in 1976 after suffering from ground movement that caused the building to lean and become unsafe, however the tower and churchyard remain. Grajilla Occidental and Paloma Zurita are often seen around or on the tower, and the yew trees in the churchyard provide forage and habitat for Reyezuelo Sencillo, finches such as Jilguero Europeo, Verderón Común and in the winter Jilguero Lúgano and thrushes: Zorzal Común, Zorzal Charlo, Mirlo Común, Zorzal Alirrojo, etc.
Through a swing gate and down a somewhat muddy slope the path goes towards the schwingmoor (a floating peat raft entirely covering a 12m deep bog). Although much of this area is off limits to casual visitors a permissive footpath does divert from the public footpath for excursion into the habitat and this is mostly covered by boardwalk, recently maintained and with the full circuit restored in 2025. Never-the-less, some areas can be wet after heavy rain. In addition to the birds already mentioned Gavilán Común, Busardo ratonero and Pico Picapinos are commonly seen, Arrendajo Euroasiático are present but usually only heard. Carbonero Montano is possible. In the summer hirundines are common (Avión Común, Vencejo Común and Golondrina Común) as are various warblers (Mosquitero Común, Mosquitero Musical, Curruca Capirotada).
Making a longer loop walk around the public footpaths in the area takes you past horse grazing/stables and other farmland habitat. Flocks of finches and tits abound, Escribano Cerillo is possible. There are multiple options branching out from here not specifically marked on the map but that can be followed by looking for yellow waymarkers in the field or as footpaths with public right of way on maps.
