This is usually the best time of the year in the Avalon Marshes – one of the top birding sites in the country. We would hope to see Bitterns, Hobbies, Egrets, Cuckoo, a big selection of warblers and possibly Common Cranes. It is also a great time to see a big selection of dragonflies if the weather is suitable!

Meet at 09.00hrs in the RSPB Ham Wall Reserve car park at Ashcott Corner (ST 449397; BA6 9SX: ///worthy.lectures.winemaker). From the middle of Meare Village on the B3151, Wedmore to Glastonbury road, take the minor road south, now with a brown signposted to Nature Reserve. After approximately one mile the car park is situated on the left just after the Railway Inn and the drain bridge. NB – not the Shapwick car park, which is on the other side of the road.

Level walking but may be muddy in places. Parking charges: RSPB members are exempt at the Ham Wall car park (place membership card in the windscreen).
