Egrets, I've had a few...


Odd to think that 30 years ago - less, even - the bird above, a Little Egret at Rutland Water, would have sparked a twitch of major proportions. Now, they're all over England and Wales, and fast spreading north into Scotland. Global warming? Perhaps it's helping, but in this case it's probably even more to do with the very adaptable nature of egrets.

So that's what they are! We have two of these lovely birds in the wetlands around our house, and we just couldn't work out what they were. Thanks for clearing it up for us! :-)
