Descrição
Avon Dam (sometimes called Avon Reservoir) is a relatively shallow reservoir built in 1957, best known by local birdwatchers as a Merganso-grande roost site. BE AWARE roosting Merganso-grande 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 melro, Melro-de-peito-branco, Tordeia, Tordo-comum, Tordo-ruivo-comum and Tordo-zornal 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.
