29th April 2025 – RSPB Ham Wall, Avalon Marshes, Somerset

Another trip to Ham Wall on a beautifully sunny and incredibly warm day for late April.

So much wonderful bird song. Clearly the birds were loving it too.

There were lots of people there and so I avoided the hide where the glossy ibis could be seen.

Again there were plenty of views of marsh harriers but a little more distant than last week. I just missed a pair of cranes; by the time I arrived they were hunkered down with their brood.

For me the treat was several very melodious reed warblers and so I will give them prominence on my blog.
