The following birds were identified through a survey carried out at 0800 on the 8th June 2006 by Barry O'Dowd, RSPB Warden, Elmley Nature Reserve, Sheppey, Kent. Most of the birds were resident species. There was no evidence of warblers, probably due to it being slightly late in the season, and the lack of song because of the very hot morning.

Additionally: Little owls are regularly seen in the orchard. Pip Neaves, whose house is on the south east of the site, regularly sees great tits, pied wagtails and goldfinches.
The old trees in the orchard provide a rapidly disappearing habitat in North Kent as many are removed due to being un-commercial. They do however provide an incredibly rich habitat for birds, insects and fungi in particular.
