I watched a (?the) Cattle Egret for about 15 minutes at Ham Wall this afternoon. I was walking along the grassy track on the north bank of the drain between the new footbridge and the second viewing platform. Just visible through the tops of the reeds, it was with a sizeable gathering of Lapwing, Gadwall, Wigeon, Teal etc but flew off at 3.30.
A series of sightings of individual Great Egrets culminated in two flying together and at least 2 Marsh Harriers were present.
Cattle Egret at Canada Farm Lake, Shapwick Heath, perched with 3 loafing Cormorants among dead trees looking diagonally right from hide. There when we entered the hide at 1400 and still present at 1500 as we left.
