Beskrivning
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 kärrsnäppa, rödspov, sandlöpare, rödbena, gluttsnäppa and plovers. The swampy wooded area by the hide may have morkulla and enkelbeckasin. Wintering ducks may include knipa, bläsand, Skedand, perhaps alfågel or tjocknäbbad dopping. 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 smalnäbbad simsnäppa, gulbröstad snäppa, mosnäppa and svarttärna. Note: A permit is required (see info below).
