Derek's field

Derek - from your description of the field that you had 4 Little Egrets in, this appears to be one and the same as the field that I had the Cattle Egret in, with 6 Little Egrets, late morning. The feeder is in the junction corner of the field, look down the field and you can see an irrigation pond (which you can view much better by driving down the road to a gateway). The cattle & egrets were in this part of the field, adjacent to the pond, when I was there, and as the cattle moved up towards the feeder at the top, most of them (including the Cattle Egret) flew into trees and bushes on the banks of the pond. I just came at the field from the other direction!
