Nigel is Chair of the Somerset Wildlife Trust Marine Awareness Campaign and will talk about wildlife in the Severn Estuary.
Somerset has 73km of coastline which Nigel believes is teeming with wildlife. The Severn estuary is actually one of the largest in the UK and Nigel will tell us about wildlife found both above and below water. The Somerset coast has the second highest tidal range in the world, leading to mud flats that attract huge numbers of resident and migrating birds. Furthermore, over 100 species of fish have been recorded in the Severn estuary and these are a hugely important food source.

Please note: this event is run by an RSPB volunteer group and is organised for interested members of the local community.
