The reserve consists of two fields; Hampton Meadow, a large area of old, traditionally managed hay meadow and Big & Little Million Common, a much smaller area of permanent pasture. The reserve has a nesting pair of Curlew in most years, while Skylarks can be heard singing over the meadow on sunny days in spring. The winter floods attract flocks of gulls and ducks like Mallard, Teal and Wigeon and occasionally Bewick's Swans from the Russian Arctic. The steep banks of the rivers provide nesting sites for Kingfishers and Sand Martins, while Reed Buntings can be found among the overgrown willows bordering the water.
