Tends to be less busy than the nearby and also brilliant RSPB Ham Wall site. As well as bird life Adder can be seen on the acid mire, and Otters may be seen in the waterways. Species of dragonfly are a lovely sight. In the Summer months Swallows and Swifts are seen flying overhead, and large Spreeuw murmurations are sights to behold in the winter months.
