A quick visit to Chew Valley Lake

I spent a few enjoyable hours at Chew Valley Lake last Saturday while the wife did some retail therapy in Bath. It's the first time in 17 years since I was here last and the quality of birds hasn't diminished. The images below were taken at fairly close range. It was a pity that the Water Pipits and Smew were out of range but the birds below made up for it.

    Nice to bump into you again Steve...it's been a while! Thanks for putting Alan Bundy & myself onto the redhead Smew. Apart from all the good birds at Chew, we managed to 'refind' Great Grey Shrike on the Mendips, cracking views of 3 Glossy Ibis at Catcott & a drake Green-winged Teal at Greylake....Somerset birding at it's best!

    Cheers Dave - it was good to catch up with you and Alan. I was quite surprised how many faces I recognised from the past. It sounds like you had a top day. Let me know when you are coming down to Cornwall next. Cheers. Steve.
