Egrets

For some reason the Little Egret has decided to move in with its relatives. I awoke yesterday to have 6 of them on our lawn and one on the perch.  What a fabulous sight.  I just wish we had a great huge tree for them to roost in.  Somehow they bring such a lovely dimension to the Pond.

Tonight in the half dark D spotted a Night Heron on the perch - how fabulous was that!  We don't often get one here - in fact I only recall seeing one very early one morning, and it didn't stay for long. However, I must add that I got up in the middle of the night last week and looked outside, as I headed to the bathroom, and saw a shape in the channel. On my return, I got out the binos and looked out, and it appeared to be the Night Heron in the channel, fishing....
