Beschrijving
Avon Dam (sometimes called Avon Reservoir) is a relatively shallow reservoir built in 1957, best known by local birdwatchers as a Grote Zaagbek roost site. BE AWARE roosting Grote Zaagbek can depart for local rivers at sunrise. The walk from Shipley Bridge car park is on a good path right up to the dam, following the River Avon through woodland, the fruiting Rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) trees attract Merel, Beflijster, Grote Lijster, Zanglijster, Koperwiek and Kramsvogel sometimes at the same time in Autumn.
For those with more time a walk further onto open moorland can produce more species. BE WARNED weather can change quickly on Dartmoor, conditions such as mist and fog can descend without warning, a map/compass or GPS-device is advised along with protective clothing.
Press STARS on map for more information.
