 Regular signs of the otter ("Lutra lutra") are to be seen on the muddy banks of the River Parrett.The ditches on the east side of the site contain a population of the palmate newt ("Triturus helveticus").During 2009 and 2010 work was undertaken to upgrade sluice gates, watercourses and culverts to enable seasonal flooding during the winter diverting water from the Sowy River onto the moor.
