Jayne and I had a few hours at
Yorkshire Sculpture Park on Sunday. Whilst there we walked around the Lower Lake, where we were lucky enough to see a
Great (White) Egret that was feeding in the Reedmace just below the bridge. It was first seen in the heronry, before flying down to feed, approximately 40m away. Brilliant views!

Whilst there, we also spotted
Goosander (c.6), a fishing
Kingfisher, 100+
Black-headed Gulls,
Mallard,
Tufted Duck,
Canada and
Greylag Geese, 2 singing
Mistle Thrushes, and an old friend,
Mute Swan 691. See
here for ringing details and our first record of this bird.
