Wildlife Photography & Camping | 3 Days in The Avalon Marshes, Somerset Levels | Part 1

Part 1 of a 2-part series of 3 days exploring The Avalon Marshes in the Somerset Levels and enjoying a little wildlife photography and some camping.
I've wanted to explore the Somerset Levels and in particular the Avalon Marshes for a quite a while so I decided to arrange a camping trip, albeit last minute. I had a fantastic 3 days overall, despite challenges with the weather at times. It was also great to see a new (for me!) wildlife species too!

Thanks, Gary. It is! Bittern was new to me and even Great White Egret and Marsh Harriers are not species I usually come across.
