LITTLE EGRET HUNTING - (Egretta garzetta)

Behind some reeds was a Little Egret and he was catching food.

Now I have this and a few other things it really feels like summer has started, though a few things are off kilter just a tad.

Also I kind of feel lucky getting this and the other two today as now I know am am going off the other places to do other things and hopefully get many different species of British Wildlife?!

This will be a longish trip and so I wont be here to photograph and film in my usual spots!

Though saying that, things should get far better from that point of posting new things in new places and onwards on from that point? Fingers crossed!

Here are a few pictures and videos as I tried to capture this Little Egret catching food...probably my favourite group of animals knowing my luck?! Amphibians!

Pics and videos ...

VIDEOS ...

VIDEOS of FAMILY OF LITTLE EGRETS - EGRETTA GARZETTA

OOPS I fogot to post these videos of a family, or group, of FIVe, count them, Little Egrets that were feeding alongside a pair of Northern Lapwings.

FAMILY OF LITTLE EGRETS - EGRETTA GARZETTA

Along with the two Lapwings I sptted no less than THREE Little Egrets together and all feeding?!

This is an unsual site and while I was filiming, yes I filmed them and over on my YouTube account along with the Lapwings, a guy came up behind me and said 'wow that IS unusual....you don't normally see three together!'

Well within minutes of him walking away two more appeared out of nowhere and they must have been hiding in the grass?! So there was a total of FIVE in all, all together and I think it must have been a pair and their chicks. I would wager that they bred on the Lea Valley Park somewhere between Hook Marsh Scrape and Holyfield Lake?!

Well maybe not that cool but personally I really like these guys, lol.

Watch out for the three videos coming up soon.
