Descrizione
Catcott Complex Nature Reserve has beautiful views across the Somerset levels and is a gorgeous wetland area. It has recently been home to a Mignattaio, and various species of Egret including Airone guardabuoi are frequently seen and often in large numbers. Probably the lesser known of the reserves on the Somerset levels frequented by very knowledgeable locals.
Dettagli
Accesso
If taking the Bath road/A39 between Street and Bridgwater (off Junction 23 on the M5), head North towards Catcott. The reserve can be accessed before reaching Burtle. There is a car park next to the main hide accessed by a rather bumpy lane with very little passing places, or just before accessing this where there is space for several cars where any of the hides can be accessed.
