On tour at Hickling the other week a large Egret flew up out of the reedbed. The yellow bill and completely black legs immediately confirmed it as a Great White. They bred in Norfolk last year. I suspect with the number we have around us the event will be repeated and become the norm.
A couple of weekends ago we were in the North of England; more about that at a later date. I was surprised to see so many Great White Egrets around that far north. One settled. It was against the light, a bit ‘sticky’ and still quite distant but I thought it made an effective subject.
