The wetlands have been created as part of flood defence works along the Severn EstuaryA new wetland bird habitat which the public can visit is to open near Bristol.It is part of flood defence works led by the Avonmouth and Severnside Enterprise Area , which will create at least 80 hectares of new habitats in the Severn Estuary.The fact the public will be able to access Hallen Marsh was revealed in a meeting of the public rights of way and greens committee at Bristol City Council on 11 September.
Green Party councillor Tessa Fitzjohn, chair of the Public Rights of Way and Greens Committee, said: "An ornithological group will be setting up bird monitoring surveys for next year, and they're going to be monitoring over-wintering and breeding bird populations, and that will be between September and April.
"I believe people will be able to go and visit. So if you're interested in the natural world, then perhaps put that on to your list."Species such as the ringed plover are regular visitors to the Severn Estuary, the RSPB says
