Not a sighting, but another reminder that our AGM and members’ afternoon is a fortnight today, 15th November.  Details under Events. See also Alison’s post: https://somersetbirding.org.uk/forum/viewthread/3741/ 

I have also had an email about BTO Youth Representative posts. Details here: https://somersetbirding.org.uk/forum/viewthread/3743/

I think this section of the website gets more ‘hits’ than others, hence my borrowing it to publicise these.

Sightings….there was a group of 11 cranes at Catcott Lows this morning, the largest number I’ve seen there. Two flew off towards the Poldens but the rest were still there when we left at 10am. Mostly at the eastern end but some venturing within 300m or so of the hide. Duck numbers gradually building with 70 wigeon, 20 teal. Just a handful of duck seen at Greylake yesterday.
