Spotted this Little Egret working the shallows - calm, focused, and completely unfazed by the world around it.

The Whimbrel - We always seem to have a couple arrive in spring and stay the summer so I’m convinced we have a breeding pair - although I have never seen young birds.

The cormorant is still fighting an uphill battle for a good reputation... And this picture doesn’t exactly help! It’s easy to see why some people aren’t too fond of these misunderstood birds. But trust me, there’s more to these water-loving creatures than meets the eye.
