Local Wildlife Site

Wildlife

There are a range of mature scattered trees including native and non-native, deciduous and evergreen species such as pedunculate oak, ash, yew, holly and Wellingtonia. The grassland is a mosaic of amenity, semi-improved neutral and acid types. The last example, which is uncommon in Greater London, contains sheep's-sorrel and common mouse-ear. Diagonally across the centre of the site is a band of scattered trees and scrub which almost constitutes woodland. Through its centre runs a narrow stream. This area includes hornbeam, dogwood, hawthorn, ash, plum, pedunculate oak and elder. Birds include wren, great tit, blue tit, blackcap, starling, chiffchaff, house sparrow, whitethroat, chiffchaff, song thrush and green woodpecker. A good range of butterflies have been recorded at the site.
