LITTLE
EGRETS OF EMSWORTH
Little Egrets are now
such a common sight around our shores, that we hardly
give them a second glance. It is amazing to think that
not more than 15 years ago they were almost unheard of in
this country. I recall the excitement of seeing them for
the first time in Spain. Despite being quite common birds
they are incredibly striking birds, elegant and graceful
in their feeding and they are very very photogenic. So,
here are a few of my own snaps of local birds, all taken
in Emsworth.
