A white speck feeding with the cattle at the edge of the reedbed as I came down from the ridge on Gupton Farm was a pulse-quickener. Sure enough a cattle egret was feeding with the beef cattle 100 metres east of the hide, a new species for the site. It perched in a blackthorn bush for a while, then resumed feeding. The cattle were being moved as I left so possible the egret will have relocated as well.
