Descrição

Berrow is between Burnham-on-Sea (just to the South) and Brean (to the North). Sand dune systems stretch most of the way between the two. This Berrow section includes a Golf Course, a Local Nature Reserve (at the Northern end) and a very long sandy beach giving way to mudflats further from land. Between the Golf Course and beach the area is dominated by brackish marshland with extensive areas of Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae) used to stabilise the dune system. Because of erosion in some areas DO NOT stray from worn pathways, some of which may be temporarily closed, NOTE the RIGHTS OF WAY across the golf course are clearly signed, BEWARE OF GOLF BALLS, DO NOT impede golfers when you cross over. During Autumn/Winter a large number of Tordo-zornal and Tordo-ruivo-comum feed on the Sea Buckthorn berries, Toutinegra-de-barrette-preto overwinter sometimes in large numbers, both Esmerilhão and occasionally Coruja-do-nabal can be found in Winter months. Pilrito-comum, Maçarico-real, Borrelho-grande-de-coleira, Fuselo, Maçarico-galego, Perna-verde-comum and Pilrito-sanderlingo can be found in Winter or on Spring/Autumn Passage. Ostraceiro are present year round, as well as Pato-branco boosted by moulting birds in July. Chasco-cinzento can be found on the golf course mostly during Spring. Offshore Moleiro-grande, Moleiro-parasítico, Andorinha-do-mar-comum and Andorinha-do-mar-árctica are often seen on passage. During Summer papa-amoras-cinzento, Papa-amoras-comum, Felosa-dos-juncos, rouxinol-dos-caniços​​​ are present, whilst Chapim-de-bigode​​​​​​ are still sporadically seen throughout the year.
