Descripción

The east and south side of Dipton Wood is a steep-sided valley with oak woods, with a notable population of Papamoscas Cerrojillo and Colirrojo Real in nestboxes, while most of the rest is pine and spruce plantation, attractive to conifer forest birds including regular Bisbita Arbóreo (in the felled and replanted areas), Piquitureto Común, and Jilguero Lúgano. A selection of raptors can also be seen, and both Chocha Perdiz and Chotacabras Europeo can be present.

Mosquitero Silbador formerly bred in the oakwood valley (and may possibly still do so occasionally), and can still turn up on spring passage.

Información extra

Both paths start with 'Public Footpath' signs. Please stick to the footpaths; other tracks within the wood are not open to the public.

Abundant Bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus) in July/August make for a pleasant picnic addition.

Watch out for anthills, and don't sit on them!
