It wasn't a plastic bag !!!

Mondays May bank holiday weather was awful. Rain and wind, the temperatures were that low I had to go and sit in the car with the heating on full blast for twenty minutes !!!
This pair of Yellow Wagtails helped warm me up further and while Dave E. and I captured images of the Wags Dave mentioned that he possibly had a Little Egret way off in the distance BUT when he put his bins then scope on it he confirmed that it was a CATTLE EGRET !!! Only the 3rd for Northumberland as I understand. Always just a little distant for a nice image it did give closer views later in the day. It wasn't reported yesterday but Dave found it again this morning (Wednesday) but it was even further away this time for us. The Yellow Wagtails on the other hand did oblige.
A nice Whinchat and Common Sandpiper were nice additions this morning aloing with the Cattle Egret.
