Great White Egrets have perhaps always occurred as accidentals within the UK. Given the recent breeding records in the south of the country it was only a matter of time before records within Norfolk became somewhat common-place. There is a smattering of birds around us at the moment. We caught up with this one on the River Nar in the south of the county. A little distant but still nice to see and watch as it fished.
I suspect they are to follow in the footsteps of the Little Egrets as Mediterranean Species continue to move their breeding range north.
