Following Martin’s post about his sighting of a circling White Stork whilst most of us were in the Avalon hide, here’s a quick overall resumé.
14 members enjoyed a successful trip to the Somerset Levels and Ham Wall RSPB reserve yesterday. We saw [or in some cases heard] 60 species including the key birds of Bittern, Hobby, Marsh Harrier, Great White and Little Egrets and in the case of two lucky observers, a circling White Stork! The numbers of dragonflies and damselflies present was impressive. Birds are usually quite distant hence only a couple of poor photos, but below are some nice odonata shots. Here’s the full bird list:
