Little egrets

[dryslwyn]

There have been several egrets on the Towy and flooded fields at Dryslwyn over the past three months. What are the chances of them breeding here. I know there is a heronry close by - would that encourage them?

i was told by a local rspb warden that near his reserve egrets were actually breeding within a heronry.they seem to be spreading well and pretty sure have been breeding in this area so i imagine they may be breeding in your area soon if they are not already
