Places to see birds

Bridgwater Bay

Avocet wading in water

The reserve's mudflats, sand banks and salt marsh are nationally and internationally important feeding and roosting sites for wildfowl and wading birds. Best times to visit are high water in spring and autumn for migrant birds, in late August for moulting shelduck, and in winter months for flocks of wigeon, teal, lapwing, curlew and dunlin.
To get there by car, take the A39 Bridgwater to Cannington road then follow the road to Steart. The car park is located at ST275459.
