Gann Egret Roost

13 tonight including the Cattle Egret found by Andy - at first on the lagoon margin before flying up to join it`s cousins - at this point there were seven in the trees then the rest flew in in ones & twos over the next ten minutes or so, MAYBE one smaller bird but as it was almost dark by this time, hard to tell. Interestingly there`s only been a max of nine over the past few evenings, so with the addition the Cattle Egret making ten what could make up the other three? Certainly has potential, though I`ll be there before seven in the morning they`re usually starting to preen prior to dispersing around that time depending on how light it is with the amount of cloud cover versus the rising Sun.
