Great White Egret, Seamer Tip Pool - 15th August 2018


A Great White Egret has been reported for several days commuting between pools around Seamer tip. As usual, I decided to have a try for this bird fully expecting to arrive and be told it had moved on! No cars were parked nearby and it was with a "bet its gone" attitude that I walked the few hundred yards to Seamer Tip Pool. Arriving at the pool YES, it was still present and showing well (very well!), but I needed to walk around the pool in order to get the sun behind me. The bird remained in full view, with a few brief flights around the pool. Really pleased I went as the Egret was a Yorkshire tick and the first one I had seen in four years!
