Local birding: Brockholes Wetland LWT - 3rd Aug 2008.

Finally caught up with the Little Egret, which has present on+off for the past few days. It spent an hour on the Main Pool early-mid pm having appeared to have flown in from the SW. When not onsite, and thats most of the time, I suspect its feeding somewhere downriver between Brockholes Bridge and Walton-le-Dale.

Another shot of the Egret below and a 1st summer Hobby, both by Bill Gregory.
