I think I saw on where I live. I must get it on video.

Those doggies just love a good chase.

Well spotted! My first 1 on the Casla River in Connemara in the 1990's - must like their fish. Welcome back from d hols.......

Lovely to see a little egret - and they're not as little as I thought

They are beautiful birds, I wish my zoom was better on my camera but its a very old sony cybershot and it only has 3x zoom, I'll have to leave the dogs at home another time and sneak up on it !

I saw my first Little Egret in 1990 in Wexford and it was exciting because they were rare. Now they're every where!

I can't believe it prefers this stretch of fairly "built up" river its always in this one place you can virtually guarantee it.

The feeding must be good there.

we have a lonesome egret near Dunmanway too. Also always at the same spot.

I know I read a comment of yours about that so I remembered to take my camera out with me as I knew this guy was always in the same place
