A late morning stroll with friends out to the hide at Noah's Lake at Meare Heath failed to produce any of note due to a lack of exposed water and quite a dense fog at ground level. So we cut short the walk and instead headed out to Ham Wall for a stroll.
Again, we failed to see much of note but on the way back to the car we were stopped by a couple of birders who had found a Bittern out in the open. We enjoyed cracking views of the bird for a good five minutes before it stalked back in to the reeds.
As we continued back to the car I saw a Great White Egret fly west, but it was out of sight before I could point it out to the others. After a pleasant walk we headed back home.
