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!

Nice film Phil. Its always great to see and photograph a new species. 👍

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

Thanks for the feedback, David. Can you let me know where abouts in the video it's happening and I'll check my origionals to see what I've done. Is it the same if you play if back on a different device?
