Adds weight to the set of morning sightings:
Has been seen at least 4 times 'early' morning, i.e. between 7.30 and 9.30;
And at least 5 times between 11am and 1230;
No other times though!
And all since 30th June.
Ps. Decent bit of wader habitat at the west end of the 2VP lake at the mo - you need to walk the grass path on the north side of the canal to view... Just had a Common Tern on it last night with a Green Sand flying round.

Adult Night Heron flew out from overhanging trees and along water channel on southern edge of Waltons at 10:50 hrs. Circled a couple of times, rising to just above tree-tops, then dropped back down into wetland immediately to the south of here. Couple of distant photos on my Twitter feed (levelsbirder)

Two further views of the adult Night Heron from the Torr View (central) Hide on Walton Heath at Ham Wall this afternoon, at 12:30 and again at 14:45 hrs, in flight over the southern edge of this part of the reserve. Mine was the second of these sightings.
