Purple Heron Purple Heron 2

Purple Heron photographed yesterday from the Hogarth Hide by a visitor Roger Bing. This is a very rare bird to be seen in Gloucestershire, sadly we only found out today and are unable to locate it. If you do see anything unusual whilst visiting please report it to a Warden or any member of staff on site.

 

Scaffolding coming down and being re-erected at the Stephen Kirk Hide today and this week.
