3 FEBRUARY:  SOGGY SOMERSET

2/6/2018

​14:15:  Godney Moor, Levels, Somerset (51.192111, -2.754677)
A cattle egret looked as if it were regretting its move northwards from the Mediterranean as it fed beside cattle in a rain-soaked muddy field, with twelve little egrets, at the reference point above.  After five pairs raised young in Somerset last year, hopefully this smart species will now become fully established as a breeding bird.
 
14:45:  Tadham Moor, Levels, Somerset (51.185783, -2.808633)
The Somerset Levels are home to a small number of wintering whooper swans, and a pair were located from a roadside bend just beyond Westhay Village, off the Blakeway, at the reference point above.  Always striking birds.

    BIG UK LIST

    This diary updates my efforts to see as many British birds in the UK as possible in 2018, using IOC taxonomy.  The list itself is viewable at www.bubo.org and will be updated more regularly than this blog.
