20th July. Little Egret

With an apparent Little Egret influx it was no surprise that Orgreave finally pulled in it's first of the year (on Wednesday) only to be followed by a second bird (that I failed to see) ten minutes later. I'd almost written off any chance of one this year as I figured that the Arctic conditions at the back end of last year had either pushed all the northern birds south or worse still frozen them to death.
