Cattle Egret

I saw my first Cattle Egret a couple of years ago and wanted to get a close-up of one whilst I was in Somerset.

Easier said than done as they are wary birds and always seem to be on the move in groups with other egrets.

This one was with a large group close to the road in a marshy meadow and came towards me and then stopped a few yards away for a few seconds allowing me to get this shot.

Taken on the Somerset levels.
