Resident species that remain during the winter include Chapim-palustre, Cartaxo-comum, Milhafre-real and Trepadeira-azul. Other species including Tentilhão-montês, Cruza-bico-comum, Tordo-zornal and Tordo-ruivo-comum can also be found in number during the winter.

As it gets towards the end of March and the start of April the first spring migrants arrive starting with Chasco-cinzento. Bredon Hill offers one of the best and most reliable places in the area for Melro-de-peito-branco with double figures most years. Other scarcer migrant species include Cartaxo-nortenho, Rabirruivo-preto and Papa-moscas-preto. Bredon Hill also is one of the best locations for Borrelho-ruivo though these aren't annual. Spring rarities have included Tartaranhão-caçador, Alcaravão, Codorniz and Milhafre-preto.
Breeding species that arrive in the spring include Rabirruivo-de-testa-branca, Petinha-das-árvores, Felosa-das-figueiras and Papa-moscas-cinzento.

Acesso
The hill is covered in footpaths that cover almost every part. However, these paths are steep in most places and can be very muddy. Parking can be acheived in any of the villages that surround the hill with Elmey Castle outside the church normally the favoured parking spot for many. The whole area is worth visiting with good habitat dotted around the hill however, the summit and Northern slopes are normally the favoured loaction for migrant species. The indicated circular route on the map is about 10 km long.
