Great White egret - Marloes Mere

A Great White egret in one of the channels as viewed from car park at 8pm. (YouTube link). Whilst trying to get a phone signal it disappeared. A walk down to South Hide revealed it sat directly out from that at 8.20pm. Again in the time it took me to walk up towards YHA to get phone signal and return it had vanished! Dave and I had a good look around but no further sign! It looked like it was settling down so may well have found a quiet spot on mere.
Earlier at Dale Airfield: 1 wheatear. Gann: pools very low, 2 Little egrets chasing fry, 2 dunlin and a Grey Plover.
