And about half a mile away is Greylake, only been there once and it's a smaller site, but saw bearded tit and water rail. It's a really good area
Thanks PB, I am hoping to be back in the area sometime...

Worth making a few days of it, if you can get away with it lol... Slimbridge is probably only an hour away too, and Stearte Marshes. For non-birders, Bath, Wells, Bristol are all sort of local :D

A less photographed duck so it is great to see. Gadwall is not a duck I could easily recognise.
