When we had an RSPB Walk some days ago, I said we would see the Egrets as long as the Cattle were close up and not miles out on the marsh, in the end we did see them, but only distantly as that was where the cattle were.
Today they were right close up to the Marsh Gate and I could see six Egrets flitting amongst the cows legs after insects. Closer inspection revealed three were the now resident Cattle Egrets and the other three were Little Egrets taking their cue from their cousins as I have never seen them with cows. they are mostly in the water on the scrape chasing waterborne insects (not the cows of course!)
Even with the naked eye the yellow beaks of the newcomers were not difficult to spy.
