Great White Egret


I've posted a number of photographs of the Little Egret, a bird that is increasingly common in the UK. Today I post my first photograph of a Great White Egret, a bird that is nowhere near as common as its diminutive relative but which was, until relatively recently, a rarely seen vagrant rather than a breeding resident. My first sighting of the species was several years ago in Lincolnshire. This bird was in Ross on Wye, Herefordshire.
