Away Day - Part 1 Out of Town - Max Bygraves

 With

"white fluffy clouds in a cluster hanging on the breeze to dry"

it was certainly an option to get Out of Town and target a couple of Rare / Scarce Birds

with some beautiful scenary across Somerset and a few interesting birds en-route including
RED KITE
Farm-Steads
CORN BUNTING

in spring-like weather  it had to be a drive to the

SOMERSET LEVELs

via a mist shrouded

GLASTONBURY TOR

and the 'Welcome Notice' with more common fare being first in line such as
REED BUNTING
IRRIGATION DITCHES
GREAT CRESTED GREBE
Trees bowing under the weight of clusters of
IVY BERRYs
much to the likeing of the local
WOOD PIGEONs
before being directed to the exact spot where dabbled the first of the
Objects of Desire
a trans-Atlantic female
LESSER SCAUP
a common waterfowl in North America
along with a male for comparison but not in attendance on the day
and half decent still and video of one of the numerous
GREAT WHITE EGRET
in flight.
ASPEN
overborne with
CATKINs
but not known if of any neutricanal value?
