A couple of hours at Chew Valley Lake this morning before the rain came in and we had to shelter in the pub and have fish and chips – why wouldn’t you as it’s Friday after all.

Started well with a male Kingfisher at Herriot’s. Also Mute Swans, a Little Egret, a Grey Heron, Tufted Duck, Shoveler, Grey Wagtail, Black-headed Gulls and Heron Gulls.  Then on to Herons’ Green with a Great White Egret, Pochard, Great Crested Grebe and a Goosander of interest.
