Ellie and I popped up to Meare Heath NNR for an hour long visit in the early evening. As we walked out to the hide at Noah's lake we stopped briefly to look over the partially drained second lagoon where we saw two Little Ringed Plovers feeding on the area of exposed mud.
We then carried on to the hide and had a quick look out over Noah's Lake. There were still a couple of Wigeon about, and the female Long-tailed Duck was showing well, still present after over two months.
There were several Swallows and Sand Martins flying about, and as we returned to the car we took another look at the lagoon...no sign of the Little Ringed Plovers that we had seen less than a hour earlier, but six Black-tailed Godwits had appeared!
Just as we neared the car park we were lucky enough to see a Barn Owl, a perfect end to a nice evening out.
