Hudwit

Went with Michelle to twitch the Hudsonian Godwit, a new bird for me, at Shapwick Heath on the Somerset Levels. Great sight. Bitterns, Great White Egrets (two), Garganey (male), Marsh Harriers, and Cetti’s Warblers also seen, as well as my first two Swifts. Then left to spend the day in Bath with Michelle.
