During the winter it can become a hostile and exposed site especially around the submit. However, some birds do choose to winter here especially on the sheltered slopes. Resident species that remain during the winter include Carbonero Palustre, Tarabilla común, Milano Real and Trepador Azul. Other species including Pinzón Real, Piquitureto Común, Zorzal Real and Zorzal Alirrojo can also be found in number during the winter. Rarer species that have visited duirng this time include Búho Campestre, Esmerejón, Aguilucho pálido and Alcaudón Norteño .

Bredon Hill offers one of the best and most reliable places in the area for Mirlo Capiblanco with double figures most years. Other scarcer migrant species include Tarabilla Norteña, Colirrojo Tizón and Papamoscas Cerrojillo. Bredon Hill also is one of the best locations for Chorlito Carambolo though these aren't annual.
