Great White Egret

The sighting of the Great White Egret was not a fly over as I thought, it was seen down on the Military Canal by the Ploddingbirder behind the Wyevale Garden Centre. What normally happens is that by the time the weekend comes and I have the time and daylight to go to see it, the birds have gone, but not this time!. I went to the canal this morning and found the Great White Egret along towards Ruckinge, so a new bird for Hamstreet area for me and a lovely bird to see.

Great White Egret sighting

I saw a report today that a Great White Egret had been seen in Hamstreet. I assume this was flying over and did not see it myself as I was at work. I am not surprised by this as they are seen more regularly now with the one at Dungeness that has been around for some months now.
