Scrub habitats
BlackcapPatches of nettles, brambles and low growing shrubs are not neglected areas of Apley Woods. They are the preferred nesting sites of many birds including Blackcap, Dunnock, and Chiffchaff.
Upright rotting tree stumps also have an important role. As well as nesting sites they are home to many invertebrates - a vital source of food for the birds.
