    These ones are supposed to be pretty rare in this country but nobody has told that to the ones in Somerset lately which appear to be quite happy here

    I'm after cattle egret, then I've got the full set (for the UK at least)!

    Is it a resident bird or just here for the short haul?

    I don't think anyone is sure, Maggie! There was at least one present last summer I think and there are four there at the moment, I think people are waiting to see what they'll do in the Spring. There must be a good chance they'll attempt to breed (assuming they're not all equipped with the same parts ) I would have thought.
