Places to see birds

Greylake

Male snipe singing in the rain

Greylake, previously a cultivated area, is now being converted to wet grassland and swamp habitats for wetland birds to thrive. It is located 8 kilometres (5 miles) east of Bridgwater (ST399346). The reserve car park is signposted off the A361 Taunton to Glastonbury Road between the villages of Othery and Greinton. Snipe, curlew, redshank are some of the species that can be seen and in winter flocks of golden plover, lapwings and duck are attracted.
