Description
Prior's Wood is situated very near the M5 motorway West of Avonmouth, the Avon Wildlife Trust owned woodland is probably better known for it's spectacular springtime carpets of Bluebells, but also has a good selection of woodland and farmland birds. Some birds you can see are Садовая славка, Обыкновенный поползень, Большой пёстрый дятел, Чиж and Желтоголовый королёк BE AWARE during Bluebell season this wood gets VERY BUSY and due to the wood NOT having a car park (residential parking only in Portbury), parking can be a problem.
