One of the nice things about visiting Brownsea, is sometimes it is possible to get close photos of Brownsea's Birds. Generally, this is when they are in close to one of the hides. So, it was good to see this Little Egret feeding on the shoreline next to the main jetty.
Little Egret: When I first started Birding, Little Egrets were a national rarity. Around the start of the 1990s, they started occurring more often and the first pair bred in the UK in 1996. Poole Harbour is home to nationally significant numbers of Little Egrets and this is one of the species that gives Poole Harbour a Special Protection Area designation
