Kicking Off in Somerset

We decided to venture over to the Somerset Levels yesterday for our first visit in over a year just to see what we could find. Starting at RSPB Greylake, we have never seen so many wildfowl in one place, but they were all asleep. However we did get one or two pleasing shots. 
Next we tried Shapwick Heath, but never raised a camera to our eyes, so across the road to RSPB Ham Wall we went. This was looking to be much the same, apart from a friendly Robin that seemed to be following us wherever we went. But just when we thought we were going to have an unproductive day, an obliging pair of Reed Buntings put on a show for us in front of one of the hides, albeit at some distance. That was the theme for the rest of the day, typified by this Cormorant drying off after fishing trip.
