Descripción
Severn Beach attracts twitchers owing to the frequency of rarities, particularly seabirds which are funnelled up the Bristol Channel on strong west/southwest storms. A total of 281 species have been recorded, including 31 seabirds, among which 4 diver species, 7 tern species, all 4 UK skuas, 3 petrels, 5 auks, plus Alcatraz Atlántico, Pardela cenicienta and Pardela Balear. Some seabirds (notably terns, skuas, and Gaviota Tridáctilas) use the channel intentionally as the start of a cross-country shortcut to the North Sea; these birds can be seen flying upriver then gaining height to fly inland, often in benign weather rather than the severe gales that bring rarer seabirds. Gaviota Cabecinegra, Espátula Común and Águila Pescadora are regular. Unusual passerines sometimes rest in the shrubs along Beach Road. Seals, dolphins and porpoises can stray upstream here in pursuit of fish. It can be a windy spot, and warm clothing is advised.
