One Slightly Disgruntled Little Egret

I had another trip to Old Moor this week, and as usual there was plenty to see and watch.  The star for me this trip had to be one slightly disgruntled Little Egret.  Just how much water does one bird need to fish in?  This one was certainly not sharing!  There he was minding his own business catching himself the odd fish or two....

....when along came a second Egret who was not going to be tolerated.

I think we can imagine what he is saying here!

But when the hint isn't taken, further action is required!

And just to get the second Egret out of the water wasn't enough - he had to be banished from the area entirely.

Peace restored once more, so back to the fishing!

The second Little Egret must have been a glutton for punishment - he came back for more!

And got it!

It was so entertaining watching all the antics!  

A bit later on in the day, the heavens opened and we took refuge in the nearest hide (Field Pool West) which was where we had been watching the Egret earlier.  This was not one of his better days!  

Off in search of shelter but not really finding it!
