Great White Egrets

7 Oct - An early morning check at pits 119 and 119a in CWP east, near Lechlade, and the early start well worthwhile as the reported Great White Egrets, 3 birds, were feeding and preening on the pits, in the company of Little Egrets and Grey Herons. The birds flew off after an hour or so, presumably to commence their feeding for the day. There are probably about 6 GWE in the Water Park at the moment, a reflection of the steady increase in their numbers in the UK.
