Little Egret - spotted whilst crossing the bridge at Glasbury on the way to Hereford at about 9.30am this morning - bird feeding close to the riverbank (close to the carpark) - i didn't think they moved this far west but then it is 8 years since i saw a little egret for the 1st time at the Otmoor reserve.

Sighting location: Tetrad SO11U - Llangynidr East. Sighting date: 04/12/09
27 spp seen in 1st hour - lowland along R.Usk and return along canal - included 1M and 2F Goosander, 1 Heron, 4 Mallard, 2 Pheasant, 2 G-s Woodpecker, 2 Jay but no Magpie, 60 Rook, 20 Blackbird, 3 Song Thrush, 6 Mistles, 11 Redwing. . In 2 tit parties 2 Tree Creepers, 21 Blue Tit, 5 Great Tit, 3 Coal Tit, 2 Marsh/Willows and two parties of 24 and 14 Long-tailed Tits. To answer a recent query about Nuthatch - where are they - the first three seen were quite silent and far from obvious while the 4th was very vocal. . The 2nd hour in the upland part of tetrad was aborted due to grotty weather and poor light, to be done another day.
