egrets

a late evening visit to Killingholme to count low tide waders was enlivened by the arrival of a flock of 5 Little Egrets; they were later joined by a sixth bird; the five flew off to roost at 21:04 but the 6th was still theer when I left--light was poor but they were all close to the hide; they were very antagonistic and making a lot of different calls;; they may be common now in most of the UK but still noteworthy here; also passing over tonight were 17 Common terns and an adult Little Gull
