Great white egret and swooping sand martins
A great white egret has been moving between the Scrape hide and Sand Martin/Ramsar hides since early Sunday afternoon. He has been getting really close to the Ramsar hide giving visitors displays of his fishing prowes. This morning he was joined by 2 grey herons.
Sand martins continue to show well at the Sand Martin hide as large groups of the migrating birds swarm the face of the artificial nesting bank, investigating the sand martin colony calls we are playing through the speakers. Good opportunities for pictures as many pose on the perches directly in front of the hide. House martins and sparrows are in the mix.
