Milborne Port - Thu 9 Feb

A quick trip down the A30 at lunchtime today to try and find the long-staying Cattle Egret that has been hanging around Milborne Port for the last few weeks. I'd tried a couple of times for it but had drawn a blank, however, with a little bit of inside information I had a new place to try and sure enough I found it with sixteen Little Egrets feeding in a field just south of the village and viewable from Goathill Road. Always nice to see a Cattle Egret, and although distant it was clear as day, as the photo below shows...you can even see the yellow bill!

Not a bad bird to get during one's lunch break!
