OldNog 432 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 yeh little egret. I remember seeing one about 15years ago for the first time in Poole harbour when they were pretty rare visitors and now they are everywhere you look down here. Very nice birds Quote Link to post Share on other sites

comanche 3,040 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 we have quite a few on the Sussex estuaries from time to time . I believe they were common in mediaeval (just how do you spell that word ?)days in this country and were a favourite hawking target . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
