The grasslands, heathland, meadows and mire support extensive populations of birds such as barn owls ("Tyto alba") and nightjar, with butterflies including marbled white ("Melanargia galathea"), green hairstreak ("Callophrys rubi") and the gatekeeper butterfly ("Pyronia tithonus"). The flora includes the heath spotted-orchid ("Dactylorhiza maculata"), corky fruited water dropwort ("pimpinelloides"), green-winged orchid ("Anacamptis morio"), heather ("Calluna vulgaris"), lousewort ("Pedicularis") and birds foot trefoil ("Lotus corniculatus"). The hedgerows and woodlands are made up of ash, hazel ("Corylus"), grey willow ("Salix cinerea") and pedunculate oak ("Quercus robur") which support populations of dormouse ("Gliridae"), common lizards, siskin, stinking iris ("Iris foetidissima") and the purple hairstreak butterfly ("Neozephyrus quercus"). The rivers and streams are home to kingfisher, otter and the Daubenton's bat.
