This coastal reserve lies along the foreshore
of the outer Severn Estuary and is an outstanding site for
watching birds which are attracted to the rich feeding grounds
of the saltmarsh and muddy tidal fields.
Species
In winter the site supports many birds such as
curlew, dunlin, redshank, knot, turnstone and oystercatcher.
The site is notable for a range of duck such as shelduck, teal,
wigeon, shoveler and pintail.
Short eared owl may be seen in daylight plus a
hunting peregrine or a merlin. Rarities oberved include
spotted crane, avocet and broad billed sandpiper.
