We went to East Harptree to look for Common Crossbills.
Four birds were seen during our visit, mainly distantly perched in the trees.
One of the 3 wintering Black-necked Grebes showed very well at Cheddar Reservoir early afternoon.
Near Chew Magna, the 2 Glossy Ibises were still feeding in the field off Denny Lane.
A return visit to Compton Dando to see the Siberian Chiffchaff.
It showed a few times feeding around the sewage works with Common Chiffchaffs, Wrens, Long-tailed Tits, Goldcrests, Robins, Dunnock, Grey & Pied Wagtails.
