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 Соловейко західний nest. Some areas of the woodland are made up almost entirely of large oaks and beech trees. Here you can observe Дятел звичайний and Дятел малий. As night falls on summer evenings you can see the territorial display flight of the Слуква лісова. The breeding birds of the Blean Woods include other typical deciduous woodland species as Яструб малий and Сіра сова. The Дрімлюга звичайний breeds in more open, recently felled areas. Підсоколик великий is often seen on passage.
