My last shot of Mrs Silvertag Bewick is depicted above, still preening.
Next, we entered a hide and spotted a greater white egret.
I used to see these in Australia, when I lived in Wollongong and was within walking distance to 2 free wetlands reserves.
Nowadays, due to climate change/global warming, egrets are far more common in the UK than they used to be.
I then took some photos of the cormorants on the islands near the sand marten hide.
There were also seagulls and lapwings on the island.
The cormorant stretched....
& HERE is some info about that familiar winter bird of britain - the robin - to close todays' offering.
Those Cinemascope pictures of the island with all the birds are great.
