Egret

[waafisher]

Out for a walk last night and photographed this "white fisherman" on the shoreline at Aberlady. I guess they are gradually coming north seeing they are established on the south coast. Not sure if they like to remain coastal or if we could see them one day on our lochs?

I saw about 15 yesterday at the side of the road. At least they were very similar looking. I was being driven down the main highway to KB in the south of Brunei.

Probably Cattle Egret that have a flash of yellow on the back of their necks,not normally seen in europe.

For those who are of the "twitching" persuasion,there's a Spoonbill at Montrose Basin at the moment,plus Ruddy Shellducks and lots of other feathery things(some Salmon and Sea Troot spotted jumpimg about too).
