Blown Away! Bird Watching at Ham Wall Nature Reserve
A trip to the RSPB's Ham Wall Nature Reserve on the Somerset Levels, south-west England. There were lots of birds and butterflies about, including Western Marsh Harrier, Great Crested Grebe, Great White Egret, Little Egret, Grey Heron, Common Wood Pigeon, Gadwall, Northern Shoveler, Eurasian Coot, Great Cormorant and Mute Swan. As you can see, it did get very windy at times but it was great to spend the day in such beautiful surroundings.
In addition to the birds, the video features Peacock, Red Admiral and Green-veined White butterflies, and Common Blue Damselfly. There are also views of the Glastonbury Canal (opened 1834), and Glastonbury Tor with St Michael's Tower on the top.

    Thank you My Birding Year for a lovely informative video as always. I’ve never seen a Marsh Harrier, but I have now, thank you. Such a big bird. I loved the Little Egret that looked like the wind was blowing it across the water, so cute. I’ve had a few butterflies in my garden this year. Have a lovely weekend. Thank you again 😊

      It was a very windy day and difficult to film at times but the variety of birds I saw more than made up for that. It was wonderful to see the Marsh Harrier, such a majestic bird. Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching and have a great week!

    Thank you My Birding Year for as always a wonderful video. I think we forget that birds need to eat come rain or come shine. I love to watch the male Greenfinch discarding the husks, do they never clean up after themselves 😅 I smiled so much watching the Collard Dove and Goldfinch clinging onto the tree while being swayed by the wind. Absolutely wonderful, thank you again. Have a lovely rest of the weekend 😊

    What a treat to see rain! Haven't had any in 45 consecutive days of 33-39C here in Croatia. The situation is dire and our land is scorched. Wildfires are a constant worry. We enjoy our green finches, hawfinches, chaffinches, long-tailed tits, blackbirds, green woodpeckers, Bob Whites and robins who are STILL around in spite of severe drought. We feed and water them often. Thank you for this!
