Great White Egret - Beeley Moor

My first Great White Egret in the Darley Dale area today. Despite increasing numbers in the south of the County with a record count of 6 at Drakelow in recent days it still took me by surprise. I had imagined a distant view at Chatsworth or on the River Wye but this bird flew straight across the moor, heading towards Darley Dale, and perhaps on to Carsington. 


Great White Egret
There were other birds on the move this morning with over 500 Fieldfare and 120 Redwing heading west plus 11 Brambling.
