Little Egret juvenile

Little Egret juvenile

Little Egrets bred in our local Park for the first time this year. This is one of the three juveniles. My first sighting of a Little Egret was in the south of France in 1988. Their range has gradually moved north and today, they are seen regularly in southern England.
