Good to see lots of Herons at Blacktoft

About 20 Little Egrets present throughout the reserve

Good to get this one in full breeding plumage displaying very close to the hide

Grey Heron passing over, no doubt feeding on the many rats present on the reserve 

 

it was good to see 3 Gt White Egret flying over
