Little Bittern on the River Colne

Well its been a while and the weather and a holiday has increased my blog absence.
I have just returned from Cape Verde to see a Little Bittern had been seen on the Colne at
Stockers lake.So when it was relocated a phone call from Joan Thomson had Lewis and I

on our way.Photo by  Paul Leppert  taken on the 11th of June.
We parked in Field Way and walked along the river,near the first island in the river we
had quick in flight views.Quite a crowd had gathered,Joan,Lee Evans,Laptop and Sharpy
to name but a few.I believe it was a Brit tick for me and a lifer for Lewis.
