This former military airfield in Cricklade has been turned back into a wildlife-rich hay meadow. Living in the margins, hedgerows, ponds and damp ground are many bird species, including Camachuelo Común, Alondra Común, Pardillo Común, Bisbita Pratense, Lechuza Común, Curruca Zarcerilla, Tarabilla común, Tarabilla Norteña and Perdiz Pardilla. The site is very good for passage migration.
