HAM WALL
Whenever we visit our daughter in Bristol we always make a point of dropping in to Ham Wall on the way up, primarily for Hairy Dragonfly. We saw a few but always in the tops of trees and never dropping down for a photo. Never the less we had a great days birding and even managed a very distant record shot of the Red-Footed Falcon that's been hanging around for quite some time.

SOMERSET'S NATURE RESERVES.
We have just got back from a trip to Hungary.
The days before and after we flew we stayed with family in Bristol
and took the opportunity to visit some great NR's in Somerset.
The Bittern was taken at Greylake NR and all the rest at Ham Wall NR.
The editor (Sue) is working on the shots from Hungary as we speak.
