I was pleasantly surprised to get a message from Dave Cleal to say that he had found a Great White Egret at Little Marlow GP. After a bit of a delay I got there to find Dave still there along with three other local birders. The Egret was fairly distant and often hidden behind overhanging trees on the main island. It did however move into more open areas from time to time and allow a few photos to be taken.
The last Great White Egret I saw at Little Marlow was in March 2015, so perhaps a bit overdue for this increasing species in the UK.

| Common Tern - As no Terns were raised at the lake this year, this has flown in from elsewhere (photo taken on 11th Aug). |
