After my post last week of a Great White Egret. Todays post is a Little Egret.
UK breeding:1,100+ pairs
UK wintering:11,500 birds






Some more Great White Egret pictures from this morning at Titchfield Haven National Nature Reserve 4 birds were spotted by one of the warden 1st thing – we spotted 3 individuals. There were also a number of Little Egrets and several Grey Herons. (you can see these in some of the pictures and YouTube film which gives size comparisons).










It was nice to see two Great White Egrets at Tichfield Haven on Thursday. Although they were on the far side of the reserve I was able to get some pictures, they are large birds about the same size as a Grey Heron.
UK breeding:8-12 pairs
UK wintering:72 birds
