Proper hardcore birding

Today consisted mostly of pottering over to Gloucestershire for the quickest bit of this...

Followed by a slightly slower paced bit of this...

Before driving on down to Shapwick Heath for a brief look at a Willow Warbler with an aberrant song and producing this stunning photographic effort...

NB. Gwentbirding recommendation No. 1 - the White Hart at Littleton-upon-Severn; No. 2 - Bath Ales 'Golden Hare'; and No. 3 - a used Nikon 25-50mm f4.

[Addendum: Forgot to mention, also had my first Hairy Dragonfly, Grass Snake and Marsh Frogs of the year at Shapwick. How the Sam Hell did Marsh Frogs get to Shapwick?]
