A wide range of birds have been spotted in the Park Hall gardens including Greenfinch, Dunnock, Bullfinch, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Siskin, Yellowhammer, Corn Bunting, Green Woodpecker, Greater Spotted Woodpecker, Turtle Dove as well as the old time favourites such as Robin, Wagtail, Sparrow, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Coal Tit, Wren, Blackbird, Thrushes and the lovely Mistle Thrush. Peacocks can also be seen wandering through, sometimes with their young in tow. The Cuckoo can be heard and seen every spring and high in the sky can be spotted the many House Martins along with the Swallows that take up residence in the farm outbuildings.

Barn Owls are often seen quartering the fields and Tawny Owls let their presence be known by their distinctive Twit Twoo calling. Out walking the dedicated paths around the fields you might spot Fieldfare, Skylark, Lapwing, Redwing and Corn Buntings to name but a few and of course the many Rooks, Starlings and Seagulls that follow behind the tractors.

By the two lakes can be spotted the Grey Heron, Ducks, Grebe, Plovers, Coot, Moorhen, Woodcock and during the early spring time the Bittern may also be heard calling for a mate with its distinctive booming sound!
