Cattle Egret - Angle area

The Cattle Egret was present with three Little Egrets in the field with the cattle-feeder at Hubberton this morning, also an adult Mediteranean Gull in the field next to the road.

Anybody calling in to see the Cattle Egret should spare a few minutes to look at the stubble fields on the south side of the road between the Angle turn-off and East Blockhouse. These fields are attracting thousands of birds, most notably Starlings, but also gulls, corvids, pigeons and finches. There is certainly a chance of coming across the Ring-billed Gull and Med Gulls in these fields.
