Carpark almost empty...so me thinking no Bittern was spotted
Changed my usual route today and walked down through the woods to the Marsh Hide (its quicker)
Sky was blue , trees were raining and Jay's were very vocal...just my observations before arriving at the hide...woohoo it's empty
I see something white way in the distance...must leave immediately and get to other hide
Can you see it?
Nobody in the next hide woohoo...still looks far away
Jeezo why can't it just be close to the hide
A will walk fast round to the mound...yeah great idea Linda...forgetting the sun is shining right in that direction
A wee look in the river before a head back round to the hide
Toot tootand a sunbather
But a was determined to get a better pic of the Great White Egret, so after going back to the hide then back round to the mound yet again here's wit I ended up with...and a Little Egret was a bonus
A lovely selection Linda, bet you got you step count up!

thanks JSThanks CL, lovely to have you back with us again...does that mean the Opsreys are on their way back to warmer climates?
and this morning it was me vs the GWE and Inhad the place to myself......was even close enough to get the wee camera out the bag
