GREAT WHITE EGRET

After lunch we visited the Blashford Lakes complex to see if the recently returned Great White Egret was about. It was showing very well on Ivy Lake from one of the viewing screens on the eastern side. I managed to digiscope both still and video with reasonable success. The bird was eventually bombed off by a Grey Heron and flipped over the trees to the west. Other birds on Ivy Lake included three Green Sandpipers, three Greenshank and a Little Egret.
