Today was Wildlife Explorers day, so not much opportunity to get my eye in for a bit of birding as I had to rush off afterwards. However, while on site with the kids, a radio message came through with the call that a couple of Great Egret had settled on Target Pools as seen from the Butts hide. This was all very frustrating as this would go down as a London first.
En route to the MDZ, a Little Ringed Plover was present on Purfleet Scrape and a Hobby shot low over. Bearded Tit were heard calling from the reeds along the river.
As luck would have it, on my way back to the visitor centre, one of the Great Egret lifted off and flew over toward Aveley Flashes where it appeared to settle and obviously pleased to have now completed the Egret trio for London.
