Opis
Once mainly known as a site just for wading birds, is now known, since the building of a major sewage works (NOTE: NO ENTRY to this site) and the creation of three nature reserves, is a site of more diverse species.
1. Uphill Hill Nature Reserve, owned and managed by North Somerset Council, is a good site for pójdźka and pustułka (zwyczajna) (check high cliff face), this high piece of land marks the southern end of the Mendip Hills.
2. Walborough Nature Reserve is a Avon Wildlife Trust site, comprising of open grassland and adjacent saltmarsh, where on extreme high tides birds roost/continue to feed.
3. Bleadon Levels Nature Reserve managed by Wessex Water, is a series of pools and reedbeds with a bird hide and 'blind'.
Because of the tidal range of the Bristol Channel (second biggest in the world) at low to medium tide birds can be at very long distance, a visit close to high tide is best, forcing birds to high tide roosts (press STAR on map) on fields/saltmarsh and offshore island. As tide recedes birds quickly leave these roosts and move over a wide area, sometimes out of sight. See a link to the tide table below.
Birds to be found all year round are sokół wędrowny, myszołów, pustułka (zwyczajna), czapla nadobna, łyska, wodnik (zwyczajny) and skowronek.
During Summer trzcinniczek (zwyczajny), rokitniczka, piegża and cierniówka are present.
During Winter cyraneczka, Płaskonos, krzyżówka, świstun, głowienka, czernica and the occasional gągoł, ogorzałka and nurogęś with biegus zmienny, ostrygojad, krwawodziób, kulik wielki, kszyk, bekasik, siewka złota, czajka can be found in various numbers.
During Spring/Autumn kulik mniejszy, piaskowiec, białorzytka, cyranka, batalion, samotnik and biegus malutki can occasionally be found.
