| | | White Heron?
I've just seen a bird that looks like a heron but was White and much smaller, is there an albino form of herons or is it something else?
I've had a bit of a google and I believe that it may of been an egret of some sort, it had black legs so could it of possibly been a little egret? Lovely looking bird what ever it was and a first for me..... |

Excellent!! Thanks folks.....
Quite lucky to see I assume as looking on the RSBP website they are not very common and even less inland, I saw it near B&Q in Newbury Berkshire if anyone is interested. |

Well they are getting commoner and commoner by the year in the U.K. In the pits in my area they are a dime a dozen! |

Hehe I wouldn't say half and they are maybe just stopping here and not breeding, but yeah they are getting very common now and are pushing North. |

I think the info from the RSPB is a little dated now in regard to quite a few species. |
