But it is not just plants that can be found in Walk Wood. The rides and paths that have been created in the woods are the perfect habitat to see many species of insects such as bees, hoverflies and butterflies, including the speckled wood, silver washed fritillary and the white admiral.
Lots of birds are also making Walk Wood their home, from buzzards that drift overhead to owls that fly low through the woods to catch their prey. Greater spotted woodpeckers can be heard drumming their way into trees in search of food, and Chiffchaffs, Treecreepers and Goldcrests can be seen and heard across the woods.
