Little Egret a site First

I was at work when I got a call from Mark saying he had just found our first Little Egret for Astbury a site first. Marks on a roll with the sighting of two Greenshank last Sunday morning , that in itself was only the second ever record. Surprisingly there have been no sightings of Little Egret at all either flying over or on the deck at Astbury, but they have been recorded at a small pool on a few occasions which is less than a mile away. But we will take this one as being the first .The Egret was found at 9-40 and was still present at 10-50 when I left feeding on the small spit just off the sailing club car park. It flew around once but came back to the same spot . The bird arrived between 8-30 and 9-30 as Mark visited earlier in the morning and left at 8-30 with no sign of its presence. Apparently the Little Egret flew off high over Visitors Centre just before midday. Also this morning small numbers of Meadow Pipits passed overhead , along with a single Buzzard and Sparrowhawk.I managed a few shots of the Egret just for the record books.
