Sadly, in spite of all the other species that live on Linkey Down, it only gets visited en masse and a mention here in migration. What a shame as it's a lovely community of plants, some rare, and animals.
Hi Neil, thanks for your comment. You are right, it's a great habitat for plants and butterflies amongst other things. Of course, since this is a birding blog it will mainly be mentioned during spring migration where it's one of the most reliable spots for Ring Ouzel in the county. If you look at our sister blog "Oxfordshire Wildlife" you'll see non-bird postings about the site (see e.g. today for example).
