Hello. Just spotted a single Great White Egret in South Oxfordshire in a permanent pasture field on a spring line that our house looks onto. Please excuse the grainy photo.
Hi I have just driven through South Moreton and saw what looked like a white plastic bird ornament on the road side when it flew off.
Too small for young Heron as have had a personal encounter with years ago in North Yorkshire.
Reckon it’s the same one
On the road side, it's more likely to be a little egret (of which there is now a substantial UK population) or possibly cattle egret. Quite often see little egrets near small brooks in England now, even in towns and cities.
