There had been a notable influx of ducks at the mere this afternoon and I was busy counting them when they all began flying around. I looked up from my scope to see a Great White Egret flying low over the mere scattering the ducks. I expected it to land in the east bay where 2 Grey Herons were feeding but it gained height and flew over the trees and away east. This is only the 2nd record for the patch following on from a bird which was at the mere on 14th and 16th September last year. When I resumed counting the ducks this was the result:- 128 Teal 64 Gadwall 26 Mallard 19 Shoveler 8 Tufted Duck 4 Wigeon 3 Pintail |

Hi Andy, Isn't this great white egret the third record for the mere? There was one videoed a few years back,when I was still living up there,by someone who didn't know or wasn't sure what it was. |
