Last night Birdguides carried a report of a Great White Egret on our estuary, and also mentioned the Iceland Gull in the same post. We had a single Cattle Egret yesterday....has someone at Birdguides HQ clicked on the wrong Egret sp? I think so..... I hope so..... There could be a non-local birder grinning at this post, and will reply with a stonking photo of a Great White Egret, that would be seriously GRIPPING!
This morning, the Common Scoter which should have been a Little Grebe remains on the estuary, it didn't look so out of place as the tide was well up. She looked well happy munching on a seemingly never-ending supply of small crabs.
A rare chance to photograph this sea duck!
Swimming head on
The Cattle Egret returned to the sheep field along Harepath Road this morning, he also screamed out for a photo to be taken....
It didn't look very active at all!
A quick flash back to yesterday, and my daily lunch break sweep of the estuary revealed the first winter Iceland Gull again. This time I managed to get a photo of it with it's head out!
Lovely : )
And that's that for today's photo-filled post. I won't have much birding time now for the next few days, but If I do you will read about it on here...
