Description
Budby is the largest area of historic heathland in the Midlands, blended with ancient woodland. Caprimulg, Ciocârlie de pădure and Fâsă de pădure make the most of the heath through summer. In winter, Forfecuță and flocks of Scatiu flit through the remnant pines and birch trees. Other birds you can see here are Ciocănitoare pestriță mică, Presură galbenă, Sitar de pădure, Aușel cu cap galben, Huhurez mic, Ciuf de câmp, Șorecar comun and Vânturel roșu.
