Couldn't quite break the Little Egret record tonight, no times or directions either. By the time I got to the Wader Scrape at 19.40 there were already 11 Egrets tucked up in the willows and they had increased to 14 by Wath Ings. Another 7 came in mostly from down the valley with the last 1 at approx. 21.10.
