| | | Great White Egret (From my local pub garden)
How about this for a find on my local patch last year - I have been so busy lately editing my video records I have not had so much time to go further afield - With birds like this one arriving on my local patch in Kent there is every incentive to keep a 'lookout' closer to home
please follow link below to watch Great White Egret great egret 2 youtube.m2t - YouTube

Excellent. Is it me or do they seem more tolerant of humans? Little Egrets seem to take flight much quicker.

I have been lucky enough to film Little Egret at close range too - I think it can depend on the location and the experience of the individual - If Birds, and Animals, are unharassed my humans it can be surprising how tame (or indifferent) they become in our presence

I agree they are on the increase - but still a nice surprise on my patch
Kind regards
