Opis
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 perkoz dwuczuby and perkozek, krakwa, czernica, Płaskonos and głowienka. kobuz often feed over the area in late summer. When the water level falls, the mud attracts waders such as biegus zmienny, sieweczka obrożna and samotnik. Wintering wildfowl include important numbers of Płaskonos, krakwa, cyraneczka and czernica. nurogęś, perkoz dwuczuby and kormoran also occur in large amounts. The reedbeds are a vital autumn feeding station for rokitniczka and trzcinniczek (zwyczajny) prior to their migration. The winter gull roost is a spectacular sight with up to 50,000 or more, mostly of śmieszka, mewa pospolita and mewa czarnogłowa. Chew Valley Lake also often attracts rare birds, including rybołów, the scarcer grebes, and an American wader or duck appears most years.
