No folks, not a shark! I am of course on about a Great White Egret.
May is always a good month to see unusual species in Dorset but so far this month we've not had any real rarities, so were pleased to see photos which a visitor took of the Egret feeding in front of the north hide late afternoon yesturday (15th May). Radipole is a good place for these to turn up, they are rapidly become annual visitors now. I would imagine the Great White will become more common over the coming years the same way Little Egret has. They havn't bred in the UK yet but its certainly on the cards for the next few years.
The Photos were taken by Les Rickman who was the visitor who very kindly reported it the the visitor centre and let us use them for our Blog.
