Cattle Egrets

9 Cattle Egret together at Hundleton this morning (David Butler on Twitter).

Had an interesting looking Rock Pipit at the Gann at lunchtime, clearly paler than the other birds present, with a whiter ground colour to the underparts and more clearly defined streaks than our typical Rock Pipits, along with paler legs and whiter outer tail feathers.  A good candidate for a Scandinavian bird (littoralis) but impossible to prove.
