Beschrijving

Charmouth is set amongst some of the highest sea cliffs on the South coast of England, some of which are over 600 foot high, the area is renowned for fossils and is part of the Jurassic Coast. The River Char runs through the village and has IJsvogel, Waterspreeuw and Grote Gele Kwikstaart. The shingle area at the mouth of the River had a Temmincks Strandloper in the past. The small area of reedbeds (Press STAR on map) between the seafront car parks, hold Rietgors, Kleine Karekiet and can have Waterral, Watersnip and the occasional Bokje. The car parks in this area can have a large pre-roost gathering of Rouwkwikstaart in late afternoons during Winter months, whilst Slechtvalk, Raaf, Roodborsttapuit and Oeverpieper are resident. On beaches waders are only to be found in smaller numbers Bontbekplevier, Scholekster and Steenloper being the most common.

WARNING. Due to erosion, cliff falls can happen at any time, walking near cliff edges and at the base of cliffs can be TREACHEROUS.
