Beschrijving
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 Bonte Strandloper, Grutto, Drieteenstrandloper, Tureluur, Groenpootruiter and plovers. The swampy wooded area by the hide may have Houtsnip and Watersnip. Wintering ducks may include Brilduiker, Smient, Slobeend, perhaps IJseend or Dikbekfuut. 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 Grauwe Franjepoot, Bairds Strandloper, Temmincks Strandloper and Zwarte Stern. Note: A permit is required (see info below).
