Beschreibung
Ambersham Common is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Mostly composed of heathland, a rare habitat in West Sussex, surrounded on all sides by deciduous but mostly coniferous woodland. As with most heathland the dominant plants are Heather (Calluna) and Gorse (Ulex) with Birch (Betula) trees and scrubland, the area supports a good number of species such as Ziegenmelker, Provencegrasmücke, Schwarzkehlchen Baumfalke, Goldammer, Fitis, Gartengrasmücke, Zilpzalp, Mönchsgrasmücke, Grauschnäpper, Kuckuck, Sperber and Kleiber, the large areas of conifer/deciduous trees attract Alpenbirkenzeisig, Fichtenkreuzschnabel, Erlenzeisig and both Sommergoldhähnchen and Wintergoldhähnchen.
NOTE the marked route on map (3 km) concentrates on the largest heathland area and immediate surrounding woodland, those with more time can explore numerous paths outside of this area.
