The Little Egret seen again in the Brook Meadow. Seeing at least 1 Egret every day at the moment in Cholsey.
Back in 1987 I travelled down to Cuckmere Haven in Sussex to see my first Little Egret in the UK. At that time they were quite a scarce bird in the UK.
Since then they have gradually moved north and west into the UK and I am now seeing them almost daily in Cholsey and even from the office window in the Brook Meadow and Cholsey Brook.
There appears to be 3 wintering in the Cholsey area. They have recently bred in Oxfordshire but will they breed here eventually?
Maybe one of the positives of global warming?
20+ Redwing in the meadow this morning and a Grey Heron this afternoon.
