Okay, so a tenuous link to Lady Gaga, but a lady garganey and her drake, having been setting up home at Greylake. Many visitors to the Lookout Hide have enjoyed great views of this summer visiting pair of ducks. Ducks like wigeon and teal migrate to the Somerset Levels in late autumn from Russia and Scandinavia, ready for our milder winters, but garganey migrate here in spring for our summer weather instead. So get over to Greylake and see if you can spot these fabulous ducks. And who knows, you might even see some mini Lady Gaga’s hatched.....
And if you fancy something a bit different in a dramatic, but peaceful and tranquil setting with Glastonbury Tor as your view then Outdoor Yoga at Ham Wall will be the perfect opportunity to fill your senses and calm your mind.
