Poor old Bedfordshire has missed out on a Cattle Egret yet again. This bird at Havesham, Milton Keynes is just over the border, like at least four other birds have been in the last couple of years. I'm sure it will happen sooner or later, but we keep saying that about Great White Egrets and American Wigeon too, and neither of them have bothered to grace us with their presence either! Still, it was nice to see this bird this morning.
I saw an egret last saturday 14th february on the pond at the corner of the a507 and the turn to Flitton. I really did do a double take. after living in Zimbabwe for several years I know what they look like. I really thought I may have been mistaken until I came across your website.
