This means that it's a good place for woodpeckers and some other species that prefer older forests. Nice birds you can see here are Fehérhátú fakopáncs, Fekete harkály, Háromujjú hőcsik, Kis fakopáncs, sisegő füzike, Barátposzáta, Hegyi fakusz, sárgafejű királyka, Csuszka, Kis légykapó, Fenyvescinege, Búbos cinege and kormosfejű cinege.
