Descrizione
Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust Steart Marsh is situated on a peninsula between the River Parrett and Bridgewater Bay on the Bristol Channel coast of North Somerset. Most British birdwatchers know this area as an important site for the large number of Volpoca, that arrive here for their annual moult. The area once comprised of just farmland but has been much improved for birds by a large man-made breach in the Eastern embankment allowing the sea to encroach onto a large area, forming good areas of mud and reedbeds. During Winter the whole area holds a large number of Waders/Ducks and possibly Wild Swans making it one of the most important sites in Southern England. Some birds you can expect to see are Piovanello pancianera, Chiurlo maggiore, Piovanello maggiore, Pettegola and Pivieressa. During Spring Culbianco and Stiaccino are often seen. Bridgewater Bay itself has had Gabbiano di Sabine, Uccello delle tempeste codaforcuta, Sula, Berta minore atlantica and other Skua/Tern species.
