MARSHFIELD
Marshfield village is situated approx 10 miles east of Bristol within the boundary of south Gloucestershire.
The area is the highest point in south Gloucestershire and is mainly upland arable farmland with many crop fields bounded by dry stonewalls and quiet countryside lanes.
The limited variety of habitat around the area means that Marshfield does not attract such a wide range of bird species that are found at the coastal sites but it does hold a number of ‘endemic’ species which are quite uncommon elsewhere around the Bristol area.
Marshfield is our local stronghold for (summer) Quail, Grey Partridge, Yellowhammers and Corn Buntings but of course many other species turn up as well.
