News that the elusive Great-white Egret (or another!) had forgone the pleasures of the Dee Estuary for the more refined surroundings of Rostherne Mere created a minor twitch this afternoon with Groucho, Le Donis, Frank Duff & yours truly standing in the churchyard scoping this bird from a great distance. No chance of a pic using the DSLR but managed a record shot with the Samsung handheld against the scope! Unfortunately we were looking almost directly into a vey bright setting winter sun! No matter. We got the bird. My 3rd Cheshire 'lifer' so far this year.
