This afternoon I was checking out some local footpaths for the Avalon Marshes partnership. The plan is to use the existing network of public footpaths to create a range of interesting circular routes that explore the best that the area has to offer. Over the years though, some of the footpaths have fallen into a state of disrepair in places, so a team of volunteers is testing out the routes to see what improvements need to be made before they are promoted (to locals and visitors to the area). The route I was on today was generally in very good nick, just a couple of disc markers needed to help anyone not familiar with the area to find their way. It was nice to look at a few spots that I wouldn't normally visit, and also see a few interesting birds. Some fresh peat workings held a very noisy and active flock of 40 Pied Wagtails along with 1 Grey Wagtail, which made the whole walk worthwhile.

It was a lovely fresh morning today on Shapwick and Ham Wall, and it was nice to take a few photos in some sunshine!
