The meeting place for 20 members was the car park at the Weston Sewage Treatments Works. From the car park we saw a large flock of Canada Geese, with the total count for the morning being 100. Our route followed part of the Brean Down Way which was opened in 2017 and runs from Weston-super-Mare to the fort on Brean Down. We only walked as far as The Great Bird Screen of Brean which separates walkers and cyclists from the birds in the River Axe, whilst still providing some viewing opportunities. From here we saw Wigeon (36), Lapwing (60), Snipe,
Redshank, Curlew and Teal among other species. In total the group recorded 47 species including Water Rail, Cetti’s Warbler, Skylark, Reed Bunting and Redwing. Many thanks to Jane for an enjoyable and productive morning. Beth Yates
Please note the car park is only open on weekdays, Monday to Friday 08:00 – 15:30.
