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.
