Sat 4th (Morning)
Ham Wall - Dawn. Large roost of Starlings departed from Waltons. However signifcantly more must have been roosting in Loxtons and even further East towards Glastonbury.

Westhay
- A fabulous display by a pair of Sparrowhawks.
- Bearded Tits showing on the seed heads near the new North Hide
- A close up view of a female Goosander.
- Distant view of a single Marsh Harrier.
- Reports of distant Whooper on Tealham Moor

Catcott
The usual suspects plus the following
- A Sparrowhawk shadowed a Marsh Harrier as it flew over the area
- A pair of Buzzards finished off a dead duck that the crows appeared to have found first. Obviously there is a risk of Avian flu (dead duck was over on left near Shepherd’s Drove,  quite a long way down) but hopefully this was just natural causes.
- A chiffchaff on the Read Mace along with a Male Stonechat
- 3 Roe Deer
- Wasp flew into the hide

(Note: Hide Log Book reported a Ring Tail Harrier in the morning and an Otter on the Friday.)

West Sedge Moor as viewed for the Railway Bridge
- 30 ish cranes in the nearby fields

Sun 5th (Afternoon) - A look around the flooded fields

Curry Moor/ Hook Bridge End
- 8 Whooper Swans (7 adults and 1 juv). Initially 6 + 2 split until the 2 flew in to join the 6. Wonderful vocals as the 8 swans joined into a single group
- Pair of Shelduck
- Large number of Starlings, Fieldfares and Redings in the surrounding fields

Flooded Fields off Cuts Road (East Lyng to Athelney)
- Large numbers of Pintail (male and female)
- Plenty of Wigeon, Teal and Shoveler

Stathe (from Bridge over River Parratt)
- 9 Little Egrets feeding as a group along the River Bank
- Barn Owl hunting along the road to Oath
- Heron with what looked like a rat.

View from the Railway Bridge
- Cranes well hidden on Aller Moor
- Large flocks on Starlings, Golden Plover and Lapwing
- A distant and active Marsh Harrier putting all the ducks up.
- Stonechats a plenty including one male that had leant that art of hovering
- Variety of ducks arriving at dusk.
- A fabulous sunset
- 20 mins after Sunset, Cranes flew onto West Sedgemoor but they came in from the direction of Red Hill and so very hard to spot.

and that’s about it….. Robin
