Description

The Berryhill Fields are basically a grassland habitat with areas of scrub (mainly goat willow, silver birch and rowan) and remnants of old hedgerow of hawthorn, blackthorn and holly. The diverse plant life with its associated invertebrates and small mammals provide food for many birds. Five species of warbler, including the uncommon pensassirkkalintu, breed alongside threatened farmland species such as peltopyy, taivaanvuohi and kiuru. The area gives also good opportunities to see kivitasku and sometimes suopöllö.
