Meare Heath NR & Ham Wall RSPB - Wed 16 May

A very productive morning at home followed by a trip with the family up to one of our favourite sites for a nice long walk. We started off on Meare Heath and noted a few birds of note, most unusual being a Osprey that soared over Noah's Lake whilst being mobbed by gulls. At least a dozen Hobbies were also seen hawking up high amongst countless Swifts. A single Cuckoo was heard calling.
We retraced our steps and took a walk out to Ham Wall RSPB reserve. A couple of Bitterns were heard booming and another Hobby was seen. A pretty quiet afternoon with regard to birds but it was lovely to get out with Ellie and Tristan.
