It would appear that the Great White Egret roosted overnight, as it was seen from 07.20hrs until late morning on the main scrape on its favourite island. (K. Bannister/J. Plant)
I didn't see it this afternoon until 16.25hrs, when it was feeding on the wader scrape. It flew back towards the main scrape 5 minutes later. Also of note 200 Herring and 6 LBB Gulls and Cuckoo singing. (CG)
