On the Bird Trail

A most elegant Snowman?
Worst bird video ever? You decide.
What you can see there is a
Great White Egret
, the ridiculous big yellow bill is the key feature from this view. It's been hanging around some small fishing lakes a bit SW of Derby for the last week or so, which continues the tour of the Midlands this bird has been on for months now, all of this a fair way off from the East Europe it really belongs in.
Haven't my life list to hand, the GWE takes me up to #214 or something like that.
Rubbish view, cold day, stood at the roadside, great bird, and it's all worthwhile.
Oh, as I type there's a 1st-year male Reed Bunting feeding in the snow on my patio, three weeks in and that's #27 for the garden list.
