Descrizione

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 Cesena and Tordo sassello feed on the Sea Buckthorn berries, Capinera overwinter sometimes in large numbers, both Smeriglio and occasionally Gufo di palude can be found in Winter months. Piovanello pancianera, Chiurlo maggiore, Corriere grosso, Pittima minore, Chiurlo piccolo, Pantana and Piovanello tridattilo can be found in Winter or on Spring/Autumn Passage. Beccaccia di mare are present year round, as well as Volpoca boosted by moulting birds in July. Culbianco can be found on the golf course mostly during Spring. Offshore Stercorario maggiore, Labbo, Sterna comune and Sterna codalunga are often seen on passage. During Summer Bigiarella, Sterpazzola, Forapaglie comune, Cannaiola​​​ are present, whilst Basettino​​​​​​ are still sporadically seen throughout the year.
