Damn I Love Somerset

Nice little bimble 'round Westhay (SWT) and Ham Wall (RSPB) down on the Somerset Levels yesterday. LOTS of water!

Did get to see: Cetti's Warbler, 2 Marsh Harriers, 2 Bitterns a Great White Heron and heard a couple of Water Rails amongst the usual suspects like King o' fishers and squadrons of snipe.

Just sharing my love of this wonderful part of the World...........hc

Only 4-6" deep now in the car park but the access to all the hides except Viridor is still snorkel deep.

Ham wall was nose deep in the "Just once a year Starling Brigade"! Lets just hope the RSPB staff lassood some of them into joining as members and helping with much needed conservation work. Bring back press gangs says me.................hc
