Beskrivning
Charmouth is set amongst some of the highest sea cliffs on the South coast of England, some of which are over 600 foot high, the area is renowned for fossils and is part of the Jurassic Coast. The River Char runs through the village and has kungsfiskare, strömstare and forsärla. The shingle area at the mouth of the River had a mosnäppa in the past. The small area of reedbeds (Press STAR on map) between the seafront car parks, hold Sävsparv, rörsångare and can have vattenrall, enkelbeckasin and the occasional dvärgbeckasin. The car parks in this area can have a large pre-roost gathering of Sädesärla ssp yarrellii in late afternoons during Winter months, whilst Pilgrimsfalk, korp, svarthakad buskskvätta and skärpiplärka are resident. On beaches waders are only to be found in smaller numbers större strandpipare, strandskata and roskarl being the most common.
WARNING. Due to erosion, cliff falls can happen at any time, walking near cliff edges and at the base of cliffs can be TREACHEROUS.
