Beskrivning

A gentle 3 mile walk in an area rarely visited by birdwatchers. Membury (not to be confused with the service station of the same name on the M4 motorway) is a very remote small East Devon village, sandwiched between an ancient iron age hillfort and the River Yarty. The walk goes from the village church along 'green lanes', passing beside hedgerows sometimes in places 'alive' with birds, crossing open fields on footpaths (Be Aware livestock are very likely) to the River Yarty at Beckford Bridge, where there is an ancient Packhorse Bridge, NOTE the area near Beckford Bridge is very prone to flooding especially following prolonged heavy rain (press STAR on map).

The River Yarty if the water is low is very good for Silkeshäger, gråhäger, strömstare, forsärla and kungsfiskare. backsvala nest in the river banks. Follow the river North on footpath that eventually leaves the river passing Yarty Farm, the footpath goes uphill and eventually takes you back to the village.

In 2021 a havsörn (G463) from the Isle of Wight Reinroduction Project spent some time in Membury area.
