The Severn Estuary and Lower Severn Vale Levels provide an extremely important habitat for birds.

Through wildfowl and wader monitoring we built a greater understanding of:

• the way wading birds and waterfowl are using the estuary
• the threats to wading birds and waterfowl
• the importance of high tide roosts and problems caused by disturbances to these habitats

A Forgotten Landscape looked at the potential for wetland scrapes to be used as high tide roosts to encourage waterfowl and as part of this we produced:

• A high tide roost map
• A leaflet about the impact of accidental disturbance of roost sites
• A wetland scrape at Littleton Brick Pits
