Out in the Spring Marshes

 


Some Spring-time views from Ham Wall - an RSPCA reserves in the Somerset levels and famous for its reed beds, and population of bitterns, which could be heard booming sonorously in the background hidden well out of sight. Marsh harriers could be seen flying low and fast over the reeds.  Here are some images -

Sleeping mute swans - is that a nest?

A great crested grebe

A surprise sighting - a glossy ibis. Apparently there are a handful visiing the reserve at the moment.
