597: 15 Jun 2023 Cattle Egret
Location: Campfield Marsh
Name: A. Collinge
8.00pm A few Little Egrets, quite a few Snipe put up by Marsh Harrier then Could not believe a Cattle Egret flew close towards the hide. Yellow bill and stumpy looking. Seen many before but a first for me in Cumbria. Got another view in flight again 30 mins later. Don’t know if it was the same bird or a second?
