Greylake Nature Reserve (RSPB), Nr BridgwaterRSPB Greylake, a wet grassland reserve of 110 hectares (270 acres), is one of three RSPB reserves in the Somerset Levels and Moors. It is approximately five miles east of Bridgwater and consists of low lying fields which form part of King's Sedgemoor 2,500 hectares (6,000 acres) of floodplain grassland.
The RSPB bought Greylake nature reserve in 2003 and is now managing it for wetland birds and other wildlife.
Lapwings, snipe, curlews, and redshanks nest on the reserve, along with other ground nesting birds, such as yellow wagtails, skylarks, and meadow pipits. We are creating habitats that will be attractive to breeding ducks and other wetland dwellers such as spotted crakes and water rails.
In winter, the land floods and flocks of lapwings, golden plovers and other wading birds arrive, as well as wigeons, teals, shovelers and Bewick's swans. Other wetland wildlife includes dragonflies, water voles, otters and roe deer.
