A somewhat unusual catch for Arundel: a Great Egret. We were sitting in a hide overlooking the site’s main body of water and watched it walk slowly towards us and into the deeper parts of the pond. I was wondering at what point it would have to start swimming, fly away, or turn around. But the egret is called “Great” for a reason – it is a big bird with long legs, and as you can see above – even the deepest part was not too deep for it…
