Included is a narrow strip of land at the northern site boundary which buffers the site from the adjacent Trap Grounds. This is an area of reed and sedge beds enclosed by damp woodland dominated by willows. Its interest includes breeding water rail, reed warbler and reed bunting and it has a certain historical ornithological value due to a past history of bird ringing at the site, as well as it being the location of a television documentary about the cuckoo. The pond/wetland created as part of the development has been successful and currently supports a dense central area of tall emergent vegetation typified by common reed and purple loosestrife, with other species at the margins including water mint and marsh marigold. The grasslands within the wildlife corridor have their origins partly in wildflower seeding and partly due to turfing (a legacy of the developers’ sales team). Seed of guaranteed native local provenance was used to create species-rich grasslands .
