    [name] => Somerset's Winter Wildlife
    [code] => GBR281
    [slug] => somersets-winter-wildlife
    [description] => 
Our visit is timed to coincide with the massive flocks of wildfowl that gather here during the winter, when internationally important numbers of Wigeon, Gadwall, Teal, Pintail and Shoveler are present. Another species found here in vast flocks is the Starling. A dusk outing to watch hundreds of thousands of birds swirling over their roost sites makes for breathtaking viewing. The other star attraction of the area is the Bittern. Habitat creation has, in recent years, attracted several breeding pairs, and in winter these are joined by migrants, giving us a good chance of seeing one standing among the reeds or flying across the vast reedbeds.


There are small numbers of wintering raptors such as Short-eared Owl, Merlin, Peregrine, Marsh Harrier and Hen Harrier, and in recent winters it has been possible to watch Great White Egret alongside Little Egret with regularity. This superb bird bred in the UK for the first time in 2012 and chose the Somerset Levels in which to do so, such is the extent and quality of the habitat. Another bird we will hope to encounter is the Common Crane which has been re-introduced here as part of the Great Crane Project. It can be unpredictable as to its whereabouts but many have been lucky.


    

  • Enjoy the aerial artistry of a million-strong Starlings as they gather at dusk prior to roosting
    • 

  • Bittern, Great White Egret, and Bearded Tit all possible
    • 

  • Special effort to find the Cranes which have been re-introduced to the area and now breed
    • 

  • Birds of prey including Marsh Harrier and Peregrine with large concentrations of wintering wildfowl & waders
    • 

  • A rural hotel surrounded by countryside
    • 

  • Led by expert naturalist guides
    • 


    [introduction] => A 4-day break to Somerset, focusing on the special birds of the area, including the spectacular winter congregations of Starlings.

What does this mean?

Highlights

  • Enjoy the aerial artistry of a million-strong Starlings as they gather at dusk prior to roosting
  • Bittern, Great White Egret, and Bearded Tit all possible
  • Special effort to find the Cranes which have been re-introduced to the area and now breed
  • Birds of prey including Marsh Harrier and Peregrine with large concentrations of wintering wildfowl & waders
  • A rural hotel surrounded by countryside
  • Led by expert naturalist guides

Summary

Our visit is timed to coincide with the massive flocks of wildfowl that gather here during the winter, when internationally important numbers of Wigeon, Gadwall, Teal, Pintail and Shoveler are present. Another species found here in vast flocks is the Starling. A dusk outing to watch hundreds of thousands of birds swirling over their roost sites makes for breathtaking viewing. The other star attraction of the area is the Bittern. Habitat creation has, in recent years, attracted several breeding pairs, and in winter these are joined by migrants, giving us a good chance of seeing one standing among the reeds or flying across the vast reedbeds.

There are small numbers of wintering raptors such as Short-eared Owl, Merlin, Peregrine, Marsh Harrier and Hen Harrier, and in recent winters it has been possible to watch Great White Egret alongside Little Egret with regularity. This superb bird bred in the UK for the first time in 2012 and chose the Somerset Levels in which to do so, such is the extent and quality of the habitat. Another bird we will hope to encounter is the Common Crane which has been re-introduced here as part of the Great Crane Project. It can be unpredictable as to its whereabouts but many have been lucky.
