Starlings converging in flocks on their way to roost, you say?
(What to look for in Winter, 2026)
Who is the lead bird with the knowledge? - the eternal question.

First ‘shrooming’ adventure of the season at Shapwick NR on the Somerset Levels. A few good treasures to be found but I have a feeling the season hasn’t really kicked off yet. #avalonmarshes

Fluted birds’s nest fungi (Cyathus striatus) really pleased to find this fascinating and interesting fungi at Shapwick. Look closely and you can see the ‘eggs’ inside the little cups. #avalonmarshes #ukfungi

For #WorldWetlandsDay I have been so lucky to get to know the #SomersetLevels in the last few years by leading group visits and surveying wildlife such as: booming bitterns, bearded reedlings and snipe! Such a unique & vital ecosystem!💚

A rather chilly looking grey heron. A great time of year to photograph birds if you can suffer the cold!

Great White Egret caught just as it hopped across the water chasing after fish. I can't resist photographing these elegant birds, which have recently (since 2012) colonised the Somerset Levels and are now spreading across the UK. Shot at RSPB Ham Wall.

Beavers spotted for first time in Somerset's Avalon Marshes
Natural England encourages people not to look for the beavers, as they are a protected species.
