Description

Bree Hill is a steep hill with mixed woodland and some scrubby areas at the top. This makes for an interesting few hours' exploration using a mixture of wide walking paths and steeper mountain biking tracks. Among the birds you can see here are käpytikka, korppi, harmaasieppo, sarvipöllö, varpushaukka, hippiäinen, punatulkku, pikkukäpylintu, and muuttohaukka.

Along the hedgerows on the approach to the site, look out for keltasirkku .
