Another great day at Old Moor with the discovery of an adult Night Heron, we couldn't relocate it tonight despite quite a few birders looking until dark. The second record for Old Moor following the juvenile in the summer of 2013, could it be this bird returning?
Anyway back to the roost tonight, Grey Heron 2, Cormorant 11+ & Little Egret 26 were counted roosting. 8 Egrets had been seen coming by the time I arrived at 20.00, however shortly after 5 birds left which left 3 in. Further Egrets arrived as follows :- 4 @ 20.38, 2 @ 20.39, 1 @ 20.43, 10 @ 20.50, 2 @ 20.52, 1 @ 20.58, 1 @ 21.06, 1 @ 21.15 and finally 1 @ 21.32. Didn't note directions tonight but more birds seemed to come in from down the valley than recent. 5 Little Egrets were present at Adwick Washland at 19.00 (per Gary Stones).
