Description

The area has a mixture of habitats including more open areas of grassland, a good selection of trees, most of which are best described as being young, including Ash (Fraxinus), Oak (Quercus), Alder (Alnus), Hazel (Corylus), Cherry (Prunus) and Sycamore (Acer) and boundary hedges.

Most birds are of more common species, Gjøk and Gresshoppesanger are sometimes seen but more regularly heard and are more than likely to be just passage migrants. Both Gransanger and Munk are regular summer visitors and some may overwinter. Løvsanger are summer visitors and Låvesvale can be seen feeding over the open grass areas.
