No GWE

I ventured back to Birstall GPs after work today, hoping to get a chance to photograph yesterday's Great White Egret seeing as it was a relatively pleasant afternoon. After a fruitless hour of searching, I discovered through a phone call to John that it had been reported on another part of the Watermead complex, but that this was in fact a Little Egret - obviously a Herroneous report. I suspect the GWE is still knocking about though - not the most exciting rarity but it would be nice to get some shots of it. Otherwise there were more Goosander knocking about and Cormorants appear to be colonising the Heronry - at least until they get their arses blown off by DEFRA licenced anglers.
