Dark, dramatic mammatus clouds hang low in a grey stormy sky, their rounded, pouch-like formations creating an eerie texture. Bare tree branches stretch across the top edge of the frame, silhouetted against the clouds. The image has a moody, monochrome feel with soft gradients of grey and strong atmospheric tension.

After the heavy shower passed yesterday at RSPB Ham Wall we were left we these amazing clouds rolling over.

The inclusion of the branches just creeping into frame was deliberate.

A calm water surface reflects a cloudy sky and a line of trees. Tall grasses frame the water, creating a sense of stillness and solitude.

A Goldfinch perched amongst the bare stems of a Teasel type plant with the teasel heads adding to the picture.

A great Egret skulking amongst the reed bed hunting for food.

A male Marsh Harrier seen from it's underside with the black, grey and brown colouring caught in the bright sun with the bird's claws extended.

A male Shoveler photgraphed in flight with its lower wing fanned out and the green of it's head and bright orange legs looking splendid.

RSPB Ham Wall yesterday - booming Bitterns heard a lot of the day but none seen. Did see this Goldfinch, Great Egret in the reeds, beautiful Marsh Harrier and the Shoveler in flight. Treecreeper, Siskin, GSW amongst other birds seen. #ukbirds #UKbirding #Somersetlevels @rspb.bsky.social

A flooded field is seen from ground level, stretching to a tree line on the horizon. It is dusk, with low light, with a dark blue/grey sky, with cloud banks diagonally across the sky. The low light paints the flood water a silvery blue.

The view from a hilltop looking over flooded fields as far as the horizon, with trees and hedgelines protruding from the water. The sky is full of dark moody clouds, save for a break in the middle of the view, through which a yellow/orange sky can be viewed, as the otherwise hidden late afternoon sunlight peeks through.

A few more views of the flooding in Somerset, following the wettest January on record.

Found this old windmill out on the Somerset Levels. The sails are long gone, but the wooden stocks still stand against the sky. Something is striking about those bare beams, reminders of all the wind and weather they’ve seen over the years. #whereittakesus #SomersetLevels #HiddenHistory

Sternus twilight stop-outs.
The last flight of many, many thousands of Starlings going to roost on the Avalon marshes.

Starlings converging in flocks on their way to roost, you say?
(What to look for in Winter, 2026)
Who is the lead bird with the knowledge? - the eternal question.

Up on the Somerset Levels this morning.
The Lapwings! You turn around & suddenly you're back in the 1960's with a skyful of birds...
The River Brue is full to the very brim.

At least you were in the county town rather than on the #SomersetLevels - you need an ark there when it rains!

12 hours out from sunrise to sunset, it was mostly quiet, but still managed a few gems.
