A fairly early start as we took a family trip up to the Somerset Levels and started off at Ham Wall RSPB reserve. The recent weather has obviously been good for the reedbeds as they had grown considerably since our last visit, and as a result we saw very few birds. In fact, a quick flight view of a Bittern was the only thing of note.
So we tried our luck at Meare Heath, but this proved to be even less productive! The second lagoon which is often drained was full of water. Rather surprising as wader migration is starting to get underway. We did see a Weasel run across the track in front of us and also my first Gatekeeper butterfly of the year.
So nothing really in the way of birds but a pleasant trip out with Ellie and Tristan.
