POSSIBLE GREAT WHITE EGRET




I spotted what I am reasonably sure was a great white egret in Trawsgoed last Saturday. Unfortunately I did not have binoculars, but from its size, (it was about 250yds away) I don’t think it could possibly have been anything else.
It was feeding in the fields, but within quarter of a mile of the Ystwyth. It was the size which got me, substantially bigger than the little egret. I saw it in flight as well as on the ground.
I will have a quick reccy when I am out later in the week (with binoculars and camera this time), but it has likely moved on by now.
