This Little Egret was taking advantage of the fish stranded by the recent flooding of the River Wharfe near Wetherby. A few years back these birds would have attracted a small crowd of ‘twitchers’, but they seem to be quite well established in the UK now.

It would be interesting to know the expansion rate.
They have been seen in Dumfries and Galloway quite frequently but I have never heard of one around Langholm.
