Ecology

Marsh Helleborine occurs here and nowhere else in Avon.[1] Lesser Butterfly-orchid and Fragrant Orchid also occur here, and at only one other Avon site each.[2] It is also home to Yellow Rattle, Meadow Sweet and Meadow Thistle. The reserve is also important for its invertebrate interest and is home to many species of moth, grasshopper and dragonfly.[3]

Narrow-leaved Marsh-orchid is found in adjacent fields.[4]

Dactylorhiza orchids are well represented, including the hybrids D. × grandis and D. × hallii.[4]
