We had a successful trip to the above, yesterday, 14th June. 12 Club members came along and were treated to some good birds and good weather, although it did get rather hot & humid as the day progressed. Highlights were fabulous flight views of BIttern, Great White Egret and Marsh Harrier, with some Bittern ‘booming’ heard. Hobbies were on the target list and we did see two, but they were flying very high. Bearded Tits were heard ‘pinging’ by a few folk but weren’t seen. Neither was the Great Reed Warbler that had been reported for a few days in the Shapwick Heath reserve, by Noah’s hide, although two of our group did hear it a couple of times.
In all, we saw or heard 52 species – click here for the full list. A few ‘besties’ of the many photos taken, below, all by myself. John Wilson.
