Ham Wall RSPB - Sat 14 May

Work in the morning, followed by the FA Cup Final, meant that Ellie and I did not head out until 5.30pm and we set off for the Somerset Levels and enjoyed a walk around Ham Wall. It was rather windy and as a result we did not see a huge amount in the way of birds, though there were loads of Swifts overhead. Several Bitterns were booming but Ellie failed to tell me of the one she was watching in flight until it had vanished in to the reedbed! However, there was little else of note and as we wanted to get back to watch the Eurovision Song Contest we headed back home after a pleasant evening out.
