Catcott NR - Sat 28 Apr

A break in the rain so I took Tristan up on to the Somerset Levels for an hour or so. We made straight for Catcott Lows in the hope of picking up some summer migrants, but on arrival the wind was pretty strong and there was not much variety in the way of birds. Hundreds of hirundines were whizzing across the reserve and several Swifts were also present. On the water there were several Gadwall but nothing else and a single Little Egret was also seen. However, we did not linger and came back home after another pretty unproductive afternoon.
