When I arrived this morning the Egret was still present, on the main island of the reserve with a Grey Heron.  Shortly afterwards it flew back to its favourite channel near the hide, and after 10 minutes or so flew off towards the cafe where it spent a little time on the end of the spit before flying back to the reserve. If it sticks around for any length of time I guess we'll all get fed up of photos of it, but in the meantime, here are a few more, this time with a bit of sun.
