We spent the day on the Somerset Levels, a coastal plain and wetland area running south from the Mendip Hills to the Blackdown Hills in the county of Somerset, south of where we live in Bristol.
There are more storms forecast for tomorrow but today it was incredibly still and misty throughout the day (not particularly conducive to bird photography).
The main feature of the day were two large flocks of egrets (with Cattle, Little and Great White Egrets), one on the Long Drove near to Wells and the other next to Westhay National Nature Reserve.

In between we visited a small reserve at RSPB Greylake where a group of photographers showed us their lovely photos of kingfishers and peregrines which we had just missed. However, I was quite happy to get a chance to photograph stonechats.
