Meare Heath NR - Sat 12 Apr

A fairly short trip up on to the Somerset Levels this afternoon and I concentrated on Meare Heath and Noah's Lake (which was pretty quiet and had nothing worth reporting!) rather than Ham Wall. My first port of call was the drained lagoon where I found a Little Ringed Plover in the company of a couple of Dunlin. Two Lapwing and fifty-eight Black-tailed Godwits were also present. Over the reed beds to the south a pair of Marsh Harriers were quartering the reeds, a Bittern did a quick fly-by, and a female Sparrowhawk put in a couple of appearances.
