We, (Fran and self), were with Paul Grennard and another birder Chris, enjoying some nice Hen Harrier action 2-3 males and a ringtail. A surprise sighting found by Fran was a Great White Egret! It took off from a field at the western end of the moor when she was walking the dog near the cattle grid.and was also seen by two other local birders who were parked there.
Paul and i had seen a distant little egret flying away to the north of where we were stood at the "half way spot".When Fran joined us and told us about the GWE,.it had us wondering, could we have mastaken the identity of the bird we had seen? About twenty minutes later i saw the GWE rise up from the direction of Penberi Pond and got everyone on it, obviouly a different bird,and much larger, presumably Frans GWE.
The Dowrog has been a great provider of nice birds over the past twnty odd years for me and many others but the GWE was a really nice addition..especially as not that long ago it would have been a real stonker!
