Meare Heath NR - Sat 12 May

A family trip up to Meare Heath this afternoon and despite the lovely weather there were very few birds around. We missed out on a Garganey and an Arctic Skua, both of which had been present earlier in the day, and the highlights came in the form of a couple of Hobbies and a booming Bittern. The trip out was somewhat rescued as a Barn Owl flew across the road in front of us as we drove through Littleton.
