Mice! Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 We all like what plant or poop so how about what bird? whilst snooping about some woods I came upon what must be a regular roost, quite a lot of muck spread around and just white feathers on the ground, also spread around. I took the picture on the map to give a size reference, my thought is little egret? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandgun Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 agreed Egret are you inland or near the coast, if inland is the roost near water ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes near the coast, near Ulverston. I can't get there in the evening at the moment, it would be interesting to see what and how many turn up.

We have [just] one, it turns up here in mid October, and has done for the last three years, ive no way of telling if its the same one. it stays for a week or two then moves on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 They are becoming quite common around the Midlands as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 We have a dozen or so around our coastal marshes. Only seen three or four at same time until a couple months ago. Local nature reserve had lots dotted about it. Nice to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClemFandango Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 I've seen several Egret in the Lythe valley which is not too far from Ulverston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
