The Somerset levels are popular bird watching holiday destinations. People come from far and wide for a winter break just so that they can watch the starling murmurations over the reed beds in the marshes around the Avalon visitor centre, when thousands of migrating starlings fly in ever-changing formations before they roost. Somerset is not only for summer holidays and warm weather, it offers all kinds of attractions. The most amazing displays of wild flowers appear in spring and it is the only place in Britain to spot certain blue butterflies. Bring the children for a nature holiday, to see deer, stoats and otters, grass snakes, badgers and voles.
