woolybanana Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 One particular field close to here attracts large numbers of herons. Recently though sharing the field have been and number of little egrets and a very small number of great egrets. I assume the two latter are on their way to better climes for the winter.But, according to the Collins Bird Guide they dont get up as far as this. Is it global warming that is encouraging them?

BritinBretagne Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 At least ten years ago the ‘status’ of egrets was changed in the U.K. as they became more and more common. They are obviously moving north. How old is your guide?https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/wildlife-explorer/birds/herons-egrets-and-spoonbill/little-egret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 Published 10 years ago so information probably at least 12 years old, possibly much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
