On Location in Cumbria: 1 – Little Egret

0012

I’ve been away for a few days up in Cumbria. My brother lives in Askam and is well placed for Walney Island and the Duddon Estuary. It was also a chance to visit Leighton Moss. one of the RSPB’s flagship reserves.

I’ll post by species on this ocassion rather than day by day and include the technical information at the end of each section. The rapid spread of the Little Egret was apparent this far north, which is encouraging, and at all sites we visited they were present in small numbers. So we’ll kick off with them.
