Kings Fleet CWS comprises an extensive area of open water situated close to the Deben Estuary. It is a former tributary creek that is now separated from the tidal estuary by the sea wall. It is fed by springs and is mainly freshwater, although there is some brackish seepage. A large number of birds use the area in late Summer / Autumn including Tachybaptus ruficollis (Little Grebe), Aythya fuligula (Tufted Duck), Motacilla flava (Yellow Wagtail), Panurus biarmicus (Bearded Tit) and Hirundo rustica (Swallow). The water quality of Kingsfleet is very good and as a consequence the aquatic flora and invertebrate fauna, particularly dragonflies is abundant and varied. The site also provides good habitat for Arvicola amphibius (European Water Vole) and Lutra lutra (Otter).
RNR 119 CWS is a Roadside Nature Reserve that supports Orchis anthropophora (Man Orchid).
Barham Pits CWS comprise a series of old gravel pits with steep sides that are important for birds. They provide food and shelter for significant numbers of wintering wildfowl. Large populations of Aythya ferina (Pochard) and Aythya fuligula (Tufted Duck) are regularly seen, with smaller numbers of other ducks, for example Bucephala clangula (Goldeneye). In Summer, the pits are used by a variety of breeding water birds including good numbers of Tufted Duck and Podiceps cristatus (Great Crested Grebe). In addition, the pits are a regular stop over for birds on passage, for example Sterna hirundo (Common Tern), Actitis hypoleucos (Common Sandpiper) and Pandion haliaetus (Osprey) are frequent visitors. Alcedo atthis (Kingfisher) and Ardea cinerea (Heron) are regularly observed feeding in or around the lakes.
Martlesham Common CWS comprises heathland and diverse acid grassland, interspersed with larger areas of Pteridium aquilinum (Bracken) and Ulex europaeus (Gorse). The site is important for its population of Plebejus argus (Silver-studded Blue) butterflies.
Kirton Reservoir CWS comprises wet meadow, open water and woodland. The site supports a wide range of wetland plants including the rare Dactylorhiza maculata (Heath Spotted Orchid). There is a narrow band of mature deciduous woodland along the north shore of the reservoir dominated by Quercus sp. (Oak) and Fraxinus excelsior (Ash) with a few large Fagus sylvatica (Beech).

Column Field Upper Quarry CWS comprises an unusual mosaic of habitats due to quarrying. The central area of the site comprises rank grassland, ponds, scrub and successional vegetation that is important for a wide range of birds including breeding Charadrius dubius (Little Ringed Plover). The shallow nature of the ponds and surrounding grassland scrub mosaic also make this an important over wintering site for wildfowl and waders. Riparia riparia (Sand martin) are confirmed to be breeding in the sand cliff to the east of the central area.
The ponds and associated terrestrial habitat are known to support a medium (11-100) resident breeding population of Triturus cristatus (Great Crested Newt) and a good breeding population of Natrix natrix (Grass Snake). The
