Description

Ham Woods LNR sometimes called Ham Wood (not to be confused with Ham Street Woods in Kent) is an area of mixed deciduous trees, grassland, orchard with a stream running along the valley bottom. Whilst most birds are of more common species, Μαυρομυγοχάφτης can sometimes be found on passage. (Ευρωπαϊκή) Νεροκοτσέλα can also be found in the wetter areas in the valley bottom, more often heard than seen as is the case with this 'skulking' species. (Κοινή) Γερακίνα are quite common and are often heard when flying over the tree tops.
