Little Egret

April 20, 2021 by Richard Somers Cocks

A Little Egret has returned to Findhorn Bay on 19 April 2021. This is the first one we have sighted since early January 2020. Like the others that we have seen in the past this one is favouring the channels in the south western corner of the bay where the River Findhorn flows into the bay. It is feeding in the old Findhorn channel and resting up on the remote areas of saltmarsh in between the channels. In the past Little Egrets have often stayed around for a while, so hopefully this will do the same.
