Description

Severn Beach on the opposite bank of the Severn is a popular migration watchpoint, so it's likely that what is seen from there is also visible from the Welsh side. Take a telescope in September/October and look out for gulls, terns, auks, divers, shearwaters, sea ducks, waders and passerines.
