Ring tail hen harrier seems to have been passing through most afternoons recently (also VP1, car park and shapwick)

At least 100 Cattle Egret with cattle beside Cow Bridge Road (Glastonbury end) this morning. Most I have ever seen in that area

Probably 60 cattle egrets dropped in yesterday evening, in groups of up to 21, with at least 5 juveniles (amongst the first 30 - was difficult to keep track after that as birds arrived and departed randomly)

An interesting afternoon at the Avalon hide today. Very low water level which has attracted a few waders and Egrets.
Spotted Redshank- 2
Ruff -2
Green Sandpiper- 2
Lapwing- 25
Black-tailed Godwit - 2
Cattle Egret- 1
Little Egret - 7
Great White Egret- 3
Glossy Ibis- 2
Water Rail- 1
With a passing Osprey at 15.10, it came in from the southwest flew over the lagoon, then flew back the way it came (more or less).
