Highnam Woods is 119 hectares of ancient woodland and coppice and forms the largest area of woodland in the Severn Vale.
There is a rich assemblage of woodland birds that includes breeding nightingales that are associated with the coppice, and indeed are the main reason that the site was purchased by RSPB in 1987.
Other bird species that occur include goshawks, ravens, lesser spotted woodpeckers, marsh tits, bullfinches, song thrushes, spotted flycatchers and woodcocks
