Shapwick Moor

Today I cycled down to the Hawk and Owl Trust’s Shapwick Moor nature reserve. I normally visit here during the winter when it is used by thousands of Starlings and lots of Lapwings. But its is easy flat route made for cycling. It was interesting to see the reserve in different colours.

Winter Months

Starlings and lapwings make good use of the reserve over the winter months.  The starlings gather in the the fields before lifting as a single flock into the Shapwick Heath or Ham Wall nature reserves to roost.
