Cattle Egret at Angle

The Cattle Egret at Hubberton was present until mid morning, at which point it was flushed off the site by a member of the birding paparazzi - flying across the road to the south with the two Little Egrets. This was the first time that it has been seen to leave the site since it was found! Given the generally obliging nature of this individual, it would be appreciated if other photographers could exercise a little patience please? The bird still hadn't returned at 13:30 - and some birders missed it as a consequence.

Fortunately, the Cattle Egret was back with the herd at Hubberton by c.16:00.

Elsewhere. there was an adult Mediterranean Gull on the beach at West Angle this morning.
