Description
Chew Valley Lake is a a great place to spot wildfowl including migrating birds feeding in the reed beds around the lake. Breeding birds include Grèbe huppé and Grèbe castagneux, Canard chipeau, Fuligule morillon, Canard souchet and Fuligule milouin. Faucon hobereau often feed over the area in late summer. When the water level falls, the mud attracts waders such as Bécasseau variable, Grand Gravelot and Chevalier culblanc. Wintering wildfowl include important numbers of Canard souchet, Canard chipeau, Sarcelle d'hiver and Fuligule morillon. Harle bièvre, Grèbe huppé and Grand Cormoran also occur in large amounts. The reedbeds are a vital autumn feeding station for Phragmite des joncs and Rousserolle effarvatte prior to their migration. The winter gull roost is a spectacular sight with up to 50,000 or more, mostly of Mouette rieuse, Goéland cendré and Mouette mélanocéphale. Chew Valley Lake also often attracts rare birds, including Balbuzard pêcheur, the scarcer grebes, and an American wader or duck appears most years.

There are also two trails (indicated on the map). There are several bird hides at Chew Valley Lake, but you need a permit to visit these hides, except for the Bernard King Hide on the Bittern Nature Trail.
