Starling Murmurations
Experience the magic of winter at Ham Wall and the Avalon Marshes, where the Starling Murmurations create an unforgettable spectacle. At sunrise and sunset, thousands of starlings take to the sky, swooping and swirling in perfect harmony—a breathtaking display of nature at its finest. Whether you’re a nature enthusiast or a budding photographer, this phenomenon is a must-see and promises a truly magical moment amidst the peaceful wetlands.
A few tips to make the most of your visit: arrive early, as the car park fills quickly and roadside parking can be tricky. Dress warmly, charge your camera, and don’t forget to support the RSPB with a donation—they work tirelessly to preserve this beautiful haven for all to enjoy.
Lunch or Dinner: The Halfway Inn
After your relaxing morning, the Halfway House in Pitney is the perfect top to refuel and warm up. Open fires and good hearty pub food will be sure to set you up for whatever you have planned for the the rest of your day.
If the Halfway is your final stop, then you are in luck. They have a great select of real ales and are consistently a CAMRA winner.
Stay the weekend at Little Wishel
After an evening or peaceful early morning watching the murmuration, unwind at the eco-friendly and oh-so-cosy Little Wishel in Low Ham. This charming holiday cottage combines all the modern comforts you’d expect with the rustic charm of large windows that frame stunning meadow views—giving you the feeling of camping, but with all the perks of a warm, snug retreat.
