Cattle Egret

29 Sept - A few minutes down the road today to Clattinger Farm, and good views of the Cattle Egret that has been present for a week or so, feeding with the herd of Belted Galloways. Cattle Egrets seem to be gradually colonizing the U.K., with another sizeable influx of birds this autumn, and this is my second sighting of this species in CWP. Grey Heron and Little Egrets also seen today, but I couldn't find the Great White Egret at Eysey to make it 4 Heron species in a day. A fairly late Hobby also seen over the Spine Road near Lower Moor.
