It is a haven for skylark, flocks of greenfinch, yellowhammer, wheatear and sparrow hawk. |

Game birds include the red-legged partridge and quail, while among the smaller birds are the common finch, robin and greenfinch. |
|
Dog roses, bramble, nettles and thistles provide good for birds such as goldfinch, greenfinch, chaffinches and the occasional rarity such as brambling or bullfinch. |
