Early morning on the flooded Somerset Levels near Langport today. Sorry for the video being a bit jumpy in places.

Following heavy rainfall in Dec '25 & Jan '26, parts of South #Somerset are still flooded in the Environment Agency's Winter Reservoirs. This is a view of #Muchelney in the foreground & #Langport in the background. Most of the heavy rain came in two storms, Ingrid on 24th Jan & Chandra on 27th Jan.

Still plenty of roads flooded in South #Somerset since Storm #Chandra flooded the area on January 27th. Here is the road out of #Muchelney Ham. Current water depth being ~30cms in places.

On the takeoff run......... 😀

On the takeoff run......... 😀

He's coming to get you!!! #Somerset #floods #Swan

Muchelney Abbey and Church caught in some wonderful early evening light as a shower cloud passed behind #Somerset

Just before the heavy cloud rolled in this evening, the setting sun produced a great set of rays across the flooded south #Somerset landscape. River #Parrett flowing through the landscape upstream of #Langport.

Wow, a warm sunny day here in South Somerset and the lovely clear sunset with a pitch of colour. After many days of grey skies this was such a delight. 😀

#Axmouth Harbour in #Devon on a day when the sun came out along the coast but the grey cloudy sky and rain, that have blighted the South West since the start of 2026, were not that far away.

#Devon Wild #Beavers getting a taste for English trees.

Lapwing coming into land at #RSPBGreylake #Somerset this morning.

Yesterday, A beautiful Glossy Ibis landing at #Catcott Nature Reserve on an all too rare sunny day on the #Somerset Levels. @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social

On Sunday, we arrived at @rspb.bsky.social Aylesbeare Common #Devon after what must have been an hour on torrential rain. The sun was now out and we came across these bedraggled ponies trying to dry off. Now steaming under the 'warmth' of the late afternoon sun and the rain water dripping off them.

The low winter sun creates amazing shadows. Combined with the current flooding in South #Somerset allowed for the creation of images such as these from a drone.

Burrow Mump ( @nationaltrust.org.uk ) #Somerset looked amazing at sunrise on Saturday 14th Feb.

This afternoon and a trip to East Lambrook Manor Garden in #Somerset to see the wonderful display of #Snowdrops and #Crocus. The blue sky and sun were a bonus given the relentless rain and grey skies for the last few weeks.

Beautiful conditions at Chard Reservoir #Somerset this morning.
