Thursday 22nd April: Local Cattle Egret
This morning we were accompanied by Bernie as we completed an ongoing survey at New Salts Farm in Shoreham. At the end of an enjoyable walk, Bernie spotted a single Cattle Egret in a nearby field. Although this species has become increasingly common over the last few years, it is not a usual sightings for Shoreham, so we were very pleased to get good views of this local tick, in its smart, peach tinged breeding plumage.
An unexpected bonus to round off our morning’s work!
