| Comments : | Cattle Egret on a small private lake North of Enniskillen, Fermanagh. It was about 4pm on 25th of September and was sitting in a tree along with Cormorants on a little crannog. I took note of the short yellow beak, dark legs and light brown breast. I watched it for a few minutes until it and Cormorants flew off, the Cattle Egret landed on another tree on the far side of the lake. |
