Description
Allenbanks is a good site for the 'woodland four' of Пеночка-трещотка, Обыкновенная горихвостка, Мухоловка-пеструшка and Лесной конёк, though the first and last have become scarce or even missing in recent years, perhaps due to disturbance by the ever increasing number of dog walkers. Also good for breeding Перевозчик, Оляпка, Горная трясогузка and Серая мухоловка.
