The Egrets came in early tonight compared to last week, the 5 already on the main marsh included an adult with colour rings, red on left leg and green on right leg. It was right in front of the hide but the rings were covered in weed and I couldn't read the numbers/letters. Tonight 7 came in from down the valley and only 4 from up the valley.
