Beschrijving
Bishop's Wood is well known for Nachtzwaluw with several males churring throughout from May to July. It also has breeding Houtsnip that can be seen and heard roding late in the evenings. Other nightime avifauna includes Bosuil and Kerkuil. If you are going for these reasons, plan to arrive an hour or so before sunset to get the lay of the land and spend till at least midnight - don't forget your torch!
During the day Boompieper, Koekoek, Zanglijster and other common woodland birds (thrushes, tits, etc.) can be found. Also a good spot for Kruisbek.
