Ascending Glaramara. The diverse habitats around Glaramara support a variety of plant and animal species. The lower slopes are characterised by ancient woodlands, predominantly composed of oak, birch, and ash trees. These woodlands provide shelter to bird species such as redstarts, pied flycatchers, and wood warblers. As the elevation increases, the woodlands give way to heathlands and grasslands, where heather, bilberry, and various grasses thrive. These upland areas are habitats for red grouse, meadow pipits, and skylarks. The rocky crags and scree slopes of Glaramara offer nesting sites for peregrine falcons and ravens. Mammals such as red deer and mountain hares can also be spotted in the area.
