There is a honey bee hive in the Linklater Pavillion. The bees can come and go to visit flowers in the reserve but many fly several miles away in search of pollen and nectar.
Bird feeders outside the Pavilion attract birds from the woodland including greater spotted woodpecker, great tits and these blue tits.
There are many birds that live and even nest in the woodland​. Bird calls are a great way of communicating to attract a mate or warn a rival.
