Have a look at the BBC online news about the fantastic developments going on somewhere in a reedbed in Somerset! Looks like we might need to make some changes to this page of our website soon!!!
Fingers crossed for a successful season.

Fabulous news. I look forward to seeing them on Springwatch. I wonder if this is the start of a bigger colonisation in much the same way as Little Egrets achieved. Who knows perhaps we shall get Cattle Egrets nesting here one day.

Teejay, They already have a couple of years ago but I dont know the current position. With the Little Bittern that bred at Ham Wall for a couple of years this area of the country is becoming a real heron / egret hot spot.
