This site was given the highest priority as an excellent example of a dynamic sand-dune system and for the rare moths found here. Today, it is a National Nature Reserve (NNR) and supports a number of habitats such as dune slacks, heath, grassland and birch woodland. Little terns breed on site, marsh harriers hunt overhead and Natterjack toads breed in the shallow pools. The rare pygmy footman moth – originally noted by the Society – still inhabits the site, too. Now managed by Natural England.
