Thanks, while I'm here (and bored on a Sun afternoon) I might as well post a couple of other pics. Here is our Little Egret on Barton Path this afternoon and a Moorhen down by B&Q. There are lots of Moorhens and Ducks around at the moment proving that the Dour must be quite healthy.
Having said that, I struggled to find a single Egret picture that wasn't ruined by stacks of rubbish floating or stuck in the reeds and mud banks. There is an armchair, dozens of bottles and cans, umbrellas and a shopping trolley all along the Path and it looks really quite disgusting. Unfortunately us volunteers won't be allowed in until April(?) to clear it out.
