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.
kangaskiuru, metsäkirvinen and pikkukäpylintu are all possible and on a summer night kehrääjä, lehtokurppa and lehtopöllö are likely seen or heard. Both käpytikka and vihertikka are present year round, as well as other forest species such as närhi. käki and ruskosuohaukka are both common in the summer. There is a notable population of breeding ristisorsa as well as a colony of törmäpääsky.
