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 голем клукајдрвец and мал клукајдрвец. The bushy re-growth of coppice trees provide perfect nesting habitat for many species of bird including славејче and црноглаво грмушарче which feed on the rich insect life. Other breeding birds include such typical deciduous woodland species as јастреб врапчар, шумска шљука and Шумски (Обичен) був. Passerines include Обичен (Шумски) лазач, шумска трепетилка, обичен ползач and Lesser Whitethroat.
