| 26/05/24 | PURPLE HERON | New workings, Moor Green Lakes | 1 | C Gent |
10:00
 | 1 yr. seen briefly as it landed in reeds between E and W fen
only time to study upper wing which was brown with no white patches. probably the same bird seen in flight a few seconds earlier was heron but flight made me think raptor, not something grey heron ever does
wing colour suggests first year not adult
. Please only view from the public footpath. |
