Descrizione
The town of Clevedon has been a 'seaside' location since the Victorian era and a popular place for the visiting people of nearby Bristol. Typical of the era it has a pier (various opening times - charge incurred) that stretches out into the estuary. On the estuary the low tide mark can be half a mile from shore, birds can be spread over a wide area, 3+ hours before/after high tide is best. Piovanello pancianera sometimes numbering 5,000+, Pettegola, Chiurlo maggiore, Voltapietre, Beccaccia di mare, Pivieressa, Piovanello maggiore, Smeriglio, Falco pellegrino, Strolaga minore and small numbers of Oca colombaccio, Fischione, Alzavola, Codone, Moretta grigia, Edredone, Smergo minore, Orchetto marino, Quattrocchi and occasionally Smergo maggiore. Garzetta, Cormorano, Gheppio, Saltimpalo, Civetta, Pispola, Spioncello marino and Volpoca are regularly seen throughout the year. Freezing/cold weather conditions elsewhere may bring in larger flocks of Pavoncella and Piviere dorato. During Spring/Autumn migration Corriere grosso, Pittima minore, Pittima reale, Chiurlo piccolo, Culbianco, Ballerina bianca, Balia nera, Codirosso regularly pass through.
The wet areas behind the sea wall can hold a lot of birds, pushed off the estuary mud by high tide or the Severn Bore (following a new or full moon - depending on weather conditions) and Blackstone Rocks are all worth checking out (Press STARS on map), birds of prey actively hunt when birds are concentrated at roost sites.
The sea wall is a popular walking area and can be busy mostly in the afternoons, a morning visit with suitable tide times may be best. If you have time be sure to check further up the Blind Yeo for birds.
