Missed again...

Walking back from pooch duty, and within 50 yrds of the house, the Little Egret drifted over the fields towards where I saw it yesterday (just come off roost?) and despite sprinting (well attempted sprinting!) to the gate, it had dropped out of sight by then. Bum-holes!

Had 3/4 of an hour on the cliff top where I had 275+ Red-throated Diver loafing offshore, with 17 Brent, 3 Wigeon and single Teal all east. Buggar it was cold!
