In spring and summer look out for butterflies such as ringlet, gatekeeper, orange tip, speckled wood and painted lady flitting in sun-drenched glades that are also rich in wildflowers with common spotted orchid, ragged-robin and fleabane in abundance.
This wood, like all old woods, is a cultural place and local people have made a significant contribution to the rejuvenation of the habitat. In turn for a share of the firewood they have helped re-instate a 20-year cycle of coppicing that has resulted in a spectacular eruption of spring flowers to rival any Suffolk wood, including swathes of bluebells, yellow archangel and greater stitchwort. Look out for tawny owl, sparrowhawk, long-tailed tit, woodcock and treecreeper, while in spring the recently coppiced areas are alive with the liquid song of blackcap and nightingale.
Please remember that this is Suffolk Wildlife Trust land please keep to the footpaths and respect birdwatchers in the area.
