Little Egret, 3 Oystercatchers

Came down with COVID on Monday (4th July) hence haven't been out much, but today a Little Egret was reported at the lake, so I decided to have an evening walk to see if it was still around.

Fortunately it was; visible from the hide though it didn't come particularly close. It spent some time catching small tiddlers.  While I watched it, three Oystercatchers flew in and made a bit of a racket before departing.
