Lots of aerial Bittern activity at RSPB Ham Wall today from 10:00 to 11:30. Mixed activity from 2, 3 and 4 birds. Plus a Male Marsh Harrier having a go at any passing birds.

With most of the reeds flattened in Loxtons and Waltons, I didn’t noticed many flights ending up on these areas. But I could have missed a few as there as so much activity.

At dawn, 2 Glossy Ibis landed infront of the Tor View hide, then flew across the water to feed almost under the hide. Later I noticed 2 Ibis infront of VP2 so I guess they moved at some point.
