A trip to Nene Washes Eldernell Lane revealed an exceptional close sighting of great white egret approx 3/4 of a mile to the west of the car park on the flood plain.
Walking further west i saw 3 pairs of marsh harriers and several yellow wagtails.
After the recent rains the pasque flowers are looking magnificient at Hills & Holes Barnack. Worth a trip to see.
Improved water levels at Swaddywell

Is this a second bird Trevor? The Egret that has been present has had a black bill with very definite green lores?
