Description

Loxley Valley has a good mixture of scrub, woodland and farmland in the area both up and down the valley from here but this spot is a good mixture of all three making it ideal for spotting those edge specialists. Great for sokol myšiar (pustovka) and myšiak hôrny as well as a range of farmland and woodland birds as well as migratory birds like drozd červenkavý.
