A Trio of Water Birds.

I took this yesterday at Kinewell Lake. Unless I'm mistaken it shows a swan, a heron and a little egret. It's a little bit fuzzy as it was blown up quite a lot.

Re: A Trio of Water Birds.

I've never seen an egret in Britain Alan, for some reason I always thought they were exotic middle eastern birds, but now I've looked it up it seems that they are just white herons really...live and learn eh...

Hi Barry, we see them quite often around the lakes near here. As I understand it they are gradually moving northwards in England.
