James (my son) and I went out for a full-on birding day to the Somerset Levels, Cheddar reservoir and Chew Valley Lake. It was again, dull overcast and wet. many areas of the levels were inaccessible and huge areas were flooded. We set off from North Perrott (near Crewkerne) at 7am and arrived at Ham Wall car park at 8am. it was just getting light. This Great White Egret was one of the first birds on our list.
