Nice to be back at UW over the Christmas break.
The Great White Egret was taken Christmas Eve in front of the concrete hide, the Little Egret was taken yesterday from the path between the Moors East Hide and Lifestyles.

Just registered for patchwork challenge...looking through the list it seems the RN Grebe scores less than the RB Shrike...and anyone spotting the bird on line 286 is guaranteed to win...along with world-wide celebrity status!
