As may be expected for such abundant flora, there is also a rich and diverse insect and reptile fauna present on the site. Typical meadow butterflies include for meadow brown ("Maniola jurtina"), common blue ("Polyommatus icarus"), small heath ("Coenonympha pamphilus"), and the marsh fritillary ("Euphydryas aurinia"). Bordering hedges support gatekeeper ("Pyronia tithonus"), ringlet ("Aphantopus hyperantus"), and speckled wood ("Pararge aegeria") butterflies. There are also 14 species of dragonfly recorded including the brown hawker ("Aeshna grandis"), black-tailer skimmer ("Orthetrum cancellatum") and the ruddy darter ("Sympetrum sanguineum"). The common frog is also prevalent.
