Great to hear the Bitterns booming at RSPB Ham Wall and even better to get such a great view of a Bittern.

There was a chill wind when we arrived but with the warmth of the sun it soon dissipated enough for us to have our picnic al fresco.

There was an early sighting of a Glossy Ibis, a good view of Little Grebe and then Great Crested Grebe courting.

When we reached the Avalon hide there was lots of action with a Marsh Harrier going up and immediately followed by the most amazing views of a Bittern.
