Almost!


Just in case you're wondering - a Great White Egret taken recently in Thailand not Watermead!

Spooky! My last post talking about our nearest Heronry at Watermead and today's news of a fine Great White Egret found this morning in the Heronry. So close, I wonder if it will wander down and grace us with its presence, especially as it's only a few miles downstream! I hope so, this would be a nice addition to the Meadows list, especially now we've had a couple of Little Egrets to join the 80's Night Herons. Generally the last few days have been quiet and obviously, the increased wind has not helped viewing conditions. There has been a couple of Buzzards patrolling regularly and appear to be frequently checking the area around the Walkers Stadium. I wonder whether they're expecting LCFC casualties?
There is another/returning flock of around 150 Fieldfare in the rough paddocks on the South Section, a small group of Teal on the gas works pools on the North Section and Sid the Stonechat's well into his second week on site. Other than that, Nowt new, fingers crossed and eyes peeled for a 'white' heron!
