More super Shapwick Heath & humongous Ham Wall

A fantastic weekend for wildlife watching; adders, slow worms and grass snakes, clouds of chaser dragonflies and damselflies, bitterns, hobbies, cuckoos, warblers, meadows rich with orchids and sunshine. Somerset is wonderful at this time of year - diverse, alive and fascinating!
