| | | Cattle Egret on Mere???
Could somebody give some suggestions to a strange looking bird i have seen today. To all intents and purposes it looks like a Cattle Egret, similar body shape to a Heron but not as big, long neck. All white in colour. I thought they were quite rare in this country? He was on a marshy type land where the tide comes in twice a day along the east coast of the U.K. Any suggestions please. Thank you. |

Hi Smokenfluff
I suggest it could be Little Egret,which is a lot commoner in this country than Cattle,but it is hard to say without seeing a picture.

A shorter bill than that of a Heron most certainly. I have three photos of it if i can figure out how to put them on here!

I've tried the Gallery and the library and it says the images are to large!  |

Welcome.. | They also need to be compressed,I normally open mine with Microsoft Office Picture Manager(hope you have that),and click on edit pictures and compress,and put a tick in the documents box(compressing it for documents.).
