Great White Egret

Many hours have been spent looking at Newton Abbot racecourse over the years with rarely anything better than a Wheatear to show for the effort, so today's Great White Egret was a pleasant surprise. It was present from 08:20 - 09:00 at least and spent most of its time foraging in or alongside a distant ditch with three Little Egrets and a Grey Heron for company. Nearby at Passage House a smart juvenile Mediterranean Gull was on the spit as the tide dropped.
