Beskrivning
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 skäggdopping and Smådopping, snatterand, vigg, Skedand and brunand. lärkfalk often feed over the area in late summer. When the water level falls, the mud attracts waders such as kärrsnäppa, större strandpipare and skogssnäppa. Wintering wildfowl include important numbers of Skedand, snatterand, Kricka and vigg. storskrake, skäggdopping and Storskarv also occur in large amounts. The reedbeds are a vital autumn feeding station for sävsångare and rörsångare prior to their migration. The winter gull roost is a spectacular sight with up to 50,000 or more, mostly of skrattmås, fiskmås and svarthuvad mås. Chew Valley Lake also often attracts rare birds, including Fiskgjuse, the scarcer grebes, and an American wader or duck appears most years.
