The main ecological interest is the birdlife, including great spotted woodpeckers, greenfinches, great tits and robins.
The traditional children's tale is of two children abandoned in a wood, who die and are covered with leaves by robins.
An example would be an east wind in September blowing Scandinavian migrants such as Bluethroats, Wrynecks, and the continental race of Robin onto the east coast of England and Scotland, leading to temporary concentrations of these species at headlands like Spurn.
The garden centre at Milbury Heath has come under fire due the treatment of robins who were nesting there and were sometimes flying in the cafeteria section.
A similar derivation in English would be "When the red red Robin Comes bob bob bobbing along")
For example, books published include Redbreast: The Robin in Life and Literature by Andrew Lack, a literary collection based on the Robin.
A member of the Bluewingle tribe, a female blue jay named Aska, meets a robin named Miltin, a slave at Fortress Glooming, who warns her of Turnatt.
The plant takes its name "wake-robin" by analogy with the Robin, which has a red breast heralding spring.
The other one (which was slightly more popular than the first one) depicts a red and flushed robin who sees a curly-haired lady pegging out washing, flies onto the washing line, inhales the fresh scents from the detergent, and exhales, becoming white again and flying away, whistling.

Stonechats, willow warblers and wood warblers sing from perches just off the path but the robins and chaffinches are far bolder and will hop around the path just two feet away from human visitors.
