With reports that the Cattle Egret is still around at Burton Mere, we headed back over there to see if we would be more successful than our visit a few weeks prior. No Cattle Egret for us, although the RSPB warden said it had been there with the cows that morning again. It seems am is the best time to go for it so maybe we will be lucky another time if the bird remains.
It was a quiet day at Burton Mere but we still saw a few other birds. Notably a Black Swan (which I didn't add to the list as assuming it's a captive escapee) and the only one new for the list - Greenshank, bringing my year total to 112 so far :)
