Ham Wall RSPB and Meare Heath NR - Sun 28 Mar

Ellie and I popped out for an afternoon walk along the drove at Ham Wall RSPB. At least one Bittern was heard booming and a Blackcap was in full song alongside the path. We were also treated to a very close view of a singing Cetti's Warbler.
After reaching the tea rooms and having a well deserved tea and cake break, we walked back to the car and then on to the partially drained lagoon at Meare Heath.
On the lagoon there were a couple of Redshanks and Lapwings and about fifty Black-tailed Godwits. I could also hear another booming Bittern. A pair of Sparrowhawks drifted overhead.
UK list for 2010 now at 156 species.
