Description
Blean Woods is a patchwork of traditional coppice woodland, high forest, glades and heathland. The mix of habitats attracts lots of different bird species. In the dense thickets birds like Privighetoare roșcată nest. Some areas of the woodland are made up almost entirely of large oaks and beech trees. Here you can observe Ciocănitoare pestriță mare and Ciocănitoare pestriță mică. As night falls on summer evenings you can see the territorial display flight of the Sitar de pădure. The breeding birds of the Blean Woods include other typical deciduous woodland species as Uliu păsărar and Huhurez mic. The Caprimulg breeds in more open, recently felled areas. Șoimul rândunelelor is often seen on passage.
