Two Great White Egrets over Chimney Corner

These two were noted this morning heading NE over Chimney Corner North ClP while out counting ducks. Managed to grab a quick shot as they went past.

Great White Egret Dunstable Sewage Works

A Great White Egret turned up at the Sewage Treatment Works today found by John (the lucky) Lynch with about 15-16 Little Egrets and luckily stayed on site long enough for me to get some record shots in the fading light after work at about 17.15 ish. Hopefully it will stay a while and we will be able to get some better views and photo's tomorrow in some decent daylight.

Please note unfortunately the sewage works is only accessible to Permit Holders or their guests.

GWE Still on site today 30-10-2016, so I have added a few more pictures. Hopefully it will stay on site for a while, if so we have an open morning next Sunday 6th 09.00 - 12.00 for anyone who would like to pop along to see this lovely bird.

Great white Grey Heron

There have been a few sightings of a "white heron" around Stotfold area in recent months and I had the good fortune to have it fly over my car about ten days ago which whetted my appetite for finding it as it sure looked quite like an egret on initial view. On the third attempt this week, I managed to capture a few digiscope images of the bird earlyish morning at Radwell Lake just over the border in Herts where I had seen it one lunchtime previously, so now we have a decent record of what it really is. Any Great White Egret claimants in the Ivel Valley beware...
