Description

Shapwick Heath Nature Reserve is a flat terrain with easy walking and cycle routes with some lovely hides. Come here to see and hear the booming Butor étoilé, and keep an eye out large numbers of Faucon hobereau in the Summer months. Found opposite RSPB Ham Wall and is often that little less busy during popular times such as weekends. Busard des roseaux are resident and frequently seen.
