I enjoyed watching this little egret (Egretta garzetta) catching fish. It was standing almost feather-deep in the water and shaking one leg at a time to disturb the fish. It was catching tiddlers, perhaps minnows or sticklebacks. The little egret was a very rare bird not so long ago but is now a common sight.
A short while later I had a very distant sighting of a great white egret (Ardea alba) in flight. This one is still a rare visitor.
