Description
There are numerous car parks around Blagdon Reservoir, and two bird hides. An 8 km circular walk around the lake is possible. See map on the link below.
The chief interest is the easternmost hide looking over the autumn mudflats. Expect Bécasseau variable, Barge à queue noire, Bécasseau sanderling, Chevalier gambette, Chevalier aboyeur and plovers. The swampy wooded area by the hide may have Bécasse des bois and Bécassine des marais. Wintering ducks may include Garrot à oeil d'or, Canard siffleur, Canard souchet, perhaps Harelde boréale or Grèbe à bec bigarré. In stormy winter weather, proximity to the Bristol channel makes this a refuge for windblown seabirds. 177 species have been seen, including rarities such as Phalarope à bec étroit, Bécasseau de Baird, Bécasseau de Temminck and Guifette noire. Note: A permit is required (see info below).
