    Rumour has it that a blue Bittern was seen in Dorset last week!

    Just to keep a certain Yeti from his Owl book, may I present my little vid from the return journey.

    About 35 mins were recovered on the return run by omitting the Theale water stop.

    It looked and sounded a superb day out, regardless of water stops taken or not.

    No doubt the running details will filter down to me.

    Cheers,

    Bryan

    The final shot for the film of this trip was supposed to be after the water stop at Woodborough. Unfortunately the train was running around an hour late and didn't reach me until 10.00pm. As it was totally dark I decided to use the nightshot (infra red) function on the camera.
    This is what I got!!

    Thanks for all the video clips - looks like Tangers is in really good form at moment aided and abetted by enthusiastic crews. Was amazed how much vegetation has grown up around Bruton but it is many months since I was there last DH
