Just bought a woodland

Bought a woodland today. It is in East Sussex and is about 2.5 acres. Mainly comprising of young oak and birch trees, there are also some substantial trees of ash, beech and alder, besides a few straggly conifers.
It has taken a while for the legal processes to go through, but today was the first day I could visit the wood as my own.
I have plans to make this a conservation area, with the provision of nest boxes and a feeding area.
In the one hour I was there today, observed the following species: great tit; blue tit; goldcrest; jackdaw;crow;greater spotted woodpecker; song thrush; blackbird; redpolls and a robin.
There is also evidence of mammal activity including deer, badger, rabbit and squirrel.
