Take a Look - Level 42 (Part II)

 With the delights of the murmuration, Water Pipit and mass throngs of Wildfowl behind us we took the sort drive to this

BRIDGE
in the heart of the
Somerset Levels
which has, historically been the best vantage point for spotting the delightful Common Crane, but not on this visit. Nevertheless, there is always something to survey from this vantage point such as the
WITHEY BEDS
presumed grown for the likes of basket making?
which this year were of just one colour unlike last when there were rows of diffent hues.
Also the general vista was worth a click or 2
with someone's
FOLLY
A Vantage Point like no other
and a
Church Ruin on the Knoll
with the lack of avian activity being adequatly compensated for by these nifty looking
TRAINs
having always agreed on the superb livery.
presented the same dilema, few birds and nothing new, while to make matters worse the weather was also closing in,
but did resist the temptation of a pint and a pie!
Satisfaction can never be Guaranteed but hopes were high for our final venture to these parts as the objects of our desire had been broadcast on the website for weeks now and no prizes for guessing who spotted the c10
WHOOPER SWANs
first
yes his
DAVESHIP
and not content with that he went on to locate not only a
JUVENILE
WHOOPER
(to the right on this clip)
but also a
BEAN GOOSE
I was almost beginning to be pleased
I had brought him along and Goose images from the archive due to weather and distance!
HERE'S to the NEXT TIME!
