Description
The Bere Peninsula has the River Tamar estuary on it's Western side and the River Tavy estuary on it's South Eastern side. The site was known for Tin, Silver Lead Ore and Arsenic mining in the past and more recently better known for fruit and flower production. The walk starts by the railway station in Bere Ferrers (Bere here meaning a woodland for pigs), crossing farm fields (livestock may be present) to Thorn Point giving wide views of the Tamar estuary. The walk continues along farm wooded hedges and finishes by returning along a quiet narrow road back to the start point.
During World War II large areas of coastal East Anglia were flooded to help prevent invasion, for 100 years Avocette élégante were missing as a British breeding bird, in 1947 a very small number of Avocette élégante bred on these flooded areas for the first time, during following Winters some of those British breeding birds and continental migrants were to be found on the Tamar estuary and so it still is today. Other birds to be found in Winter are Harle huppé, Canard souchet, Canard pilet, Bernache cravant, Canard siffleur, Sarcelle d'hiver, Huîtrier pie, Pluvier doré, Barge à queue noire, Barge rousse, Bécasseau variable and Pluvier argenté, sometimes in small numbers but during periods of freezing conditions further North numbers can be greater.
