      Many thanks Dave, so pleased you liked it. Of the 3 egret species on The Levels, they are by far the most numerous, but in really hard winter when the ground is frozen for some time, they almost disapear. Going back to France/Spain we suspose?

    I don't know the Somerset Levels, I've spent some time on the Newport Wetlands site across the channel, I was amazed at the numbers of Cettis Warblers, a bird that was not heard when I was younger. I've seen Egrets in South Wales, but not the variety there seems to be in Somerset.

    • @somsvid
      @somsvid Месяц назад

      Yes, Cetti's are common in suitable habitat on the Somerset Levels. GW Egrets 1st bred in 2012 and are now wide-spread across the Levels, c.90 nests this year! Cattle Egrets have found it to their liking having 1st bred in 2008 (1st for UK) and now number c.450 in winter counts.
