Born Hunter 17,798 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 It does say re-established next to Little Egrets. I've also seen quite a few of them. I'll get excited when they're reintroducing Irish Elk and Woolly Mammoths! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trappa 518 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Love stuff like this. I saw a cattle egret the other week, had no idea what it was and told everyone on facebook id seen a feckin stork! hahahaha. It took a couple of birdwatching friends to work out it was a cattle egret. A couple of years ago i put on here that i saw a strange frog in my pond, i took some photos but they werent great. I remember it was nothing like the other frogs in my garden and it wasnt a toad. After reading this and looking at the pics it looks suspiciously like the moor frog. i need to find my post 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Shame really. I for one will be gutted when the last of the big cats that roam our British countryside become extinct. Especially to the folk who see them regulary. Maybe they can take some pics for prosperity when they finally go extinct. 3 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
