THE Somerset Levels - so good that even
Springwatch goes there. And YES we did see the first nesting site of the first great white egret in the UK - thanks to the Natural England and the RSPB - and YES I have joined now!
Actually we saw the GWE and where the nest was (apparently), but nothing of the nest itself. We had a nice chat to the armed guards too.
However we did get a good "Bag" generally: hobbies, cuckoos, lots of warblers, bittern (sighting and booming), little egrets, other water birds, lots of dragonflies and damselflies, some stunning orchids (southern marsh) and a small adder.
Anyway here they are:
 |
| Bittern |
 |
| Male Four-spotted chaser |
 |
| Emerald damselfly |
 |
| Southern-marsh orchid |
 |
| Male Emperor dragonfly |
 |
| Azure damselfly |
 |
| Southern-marsh orchid |
 |
| An oak apple - we thought that it was especially large |
Nice pics of the damsels and dragons.
