Descrição
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 Mergulhão-de-crista and Mergulhão-pequeno, Frisada, Zarro-negrinha, Pato-trombeteiro and Zarro-comum. Ógea often feed over the area in late summer. When the water level falls, the mud attracts waders such as Pilrito-comum, Borrelho-grande-de-coleira and Pássaro-bique-bique. Wintering wildfowl include important numbers of Pato-trombeteiro, Frisada, Marrequinha-comum and Zarro-negrinha. Merganso-grande, Mergulhão-de-crista and Corvo-marinho-de-faces-brancas also occur in large amounts. The reedbeds are a vital autumn feeding station for Felosa-dos-juncos and rouxinol-dos-caniços prior to their migration. The winter gull roost is a spectacular sight with up to 50,000 or more, mostly of Guincho-comum, Gaivota-parda and Gaivota-de-cabeça-preta. Chew Valley Lake also often attracts rare birds, including Águia-pesqueira, the scarcer grebes, and an American wader or duck appears most years.
