Dipped out

OKAY...so I dipped out on the stork, the glossy ibis, the garganey and the short-eared owl, but I did see a coot trying to swallow a huge snail - what could be more fun than that!

Amazingly he\she did manage it, then went on stamping on its nest.  The image makes me think that he\she was regretting the decision to try!

Actually I had great views of a number of stunning marsh harriers, heard some good old booming from the bitterns and saw more egrets (GW and Little) than I could shake a stick out - but they were not what I went to the Somerset Levels for!

Oh...and those hides are quite good to get out of the rain, but keep the shutters down in Noahs!
