The water area encourages wading birds such as spotted redshank, greenshank, green sandpiper and curlew. Snipe are recorded as over-wintering. Breeding birds include little grebe, moorhen, mallard, Eurasian teal and tufted duck. The heathland area encourages whinchat, skylark, tree pipit, cuckoo, nightjar, kestrel and sparrowhawk. The reserve is one of three known sites in the Forest of Dean where stonechat breed. Swift, swallow and house martin are regular feeders as the site is rich in insect life.
