Am not sure if this is a Great Crested or Smooth Newt.

Grey Heron at RSPB Rye Meads this morning. I have no idea how it spotted fish through all that Duckweed. Sadly, no sign of the Night Heron during my visit. #RSPBRyeMeads

A afternoon visit to #RSPBRyeMeads enabled the adult Black-crowned Night Heron to be seen.
Other avian highlights on the reserve were, Red-crested Pochard, Common Tern, Eurasian Oystercatcher x2, Green Sandpiper x3 and a female Tufted Duck with 13 ducklings.
