As I was up in Somerset this afternoon I dropped off at the Mear Heath reserve in in hope of seeing the Green Winged Teal that has been seen there but I was out of luck as there was no sign of the bird ! but I did see 20+ GADWALL & a male GARGANEY .
I then had a look at the Ham Walls reserve & I had a BITTERN booming the first time that I have heard one in quite a few years & even better it then decided to fly giving good views , there were also 2 CUCKOO & a GARDEN WARBLER .
