    That is the cool Little Egret, back in the 70s it was a very rare visitor to these isles, by the 90s it was a regular visitor, it now is a widespread breeder and one of many cool species found in Johnie's fine patch:50:

    Out on a fine 3.25-6am countryside walk near my home in my alternative patch i got my first Owls for some time:36: Great views of a pair of Tawny Owls as the last of the darkness disappeared. A number of bats were seen and just like Johnie we saw a Cow with her infant :84:

    Thanks Bhoys :50:, as Pete said Landry, Little Egrets are quite common around the country now, they're a beautiful bird to watch, and great fishers.

    A very quick visit to the trail cam by a Pine Marten (you can exit after 15 seconds).

    Wow that's amazing to sit and think about. A nice gift from nature. Cheers Cider, i think also you would make an excellent nature documentarian. Someone who can describe birds and teach others about them in an interesting way.
    Enjoy your day everyone!

    I upgraded my camera last week and took it out to Lough Gill at Hazelwood for a try out, i'm delighted with the results, i was also delighted when Mr Kingfisher paid a brief visit.

    yea your photography really brings out the colours of the characters. That kingfisher almost seems proud that you caught him swooping at low altitude, baby swans is also matched and i love the colours of the pidgeon
