They are becoming more widespread now SM...a pleasure to see them...lovely photo

Very nice Snappy. Down in Cornwall a few years back a little egret and a heron mated and had young. Did not see the outcome as there was no follow up.

Thanks Linda, it's nice when they ignore you and carry on fishing

Wow, how strange William

When did your chiffchaff become a willow warbler, Snappy? Definite split personality there lol
Love egrets... think I prefer great to little, but probably only coz I see little more often, as Cattle are the favourite and hardly ever see them!

Thanks PB Apparently it is more like a willow warbler than a chiffchaff. Difficult to tell from that photo as I didn't get the label in it... I did see flock of cattle egrets at Welney, following a machine emptying a ditch. Just a bit too far off for a decent photo though.
