Moderate
6.4 miles / 10.3 km
(Estimated finish time: 14:30)
NOTE THE LATE START AT 11.00AM
This is a flat route, along quiet roads, tracks, and paths. We pass through an ancient landscape unlike any in North Dorset. Lots of damp ground, reedbeds, ponds all overlooked by Glastonbury Tor. RSPB Ham Wall reserve is on the site of old peat workings which are now flooded. It supports vast numbers of wintering wildfowl and its numbers of wintering Starlings (500,000 back in 2019).
The walk is relatively short. Be warned that it can get really cold waiting for the Starlings to appear so please bring extra warm clothing to put on after the walk. The RSPB car park has a toilet and coffee machine.
The walk leader hereby warns that the location of the murmuration can vary from day to day so we may be lucky and get close views or there can be distant views!!
Booking opens at 10.00am 07/12/2021 and closes at 10.00am 13/12/2021.
