Over the last couple of days I've seen Little Egrets at both Chatsworth and Ashford Lake, I think we will be seeing them as regularly as Grey Heron soon and perhaps breeding somewhere locally in the not too distant future.

The first winter visitors have started to appear, I had my first Redwing on 27 September on Beeley Moor and have seen several small flocks since. The first Brambling was also on Beeley Moor on 2nd October.
Pink-footed Geese have been seen most days but just one or two skeins most days.
An unexpected foreign bird was a Black-headed Gull bearing a Finnish ring photographed at Bakewell yesterday but I think it may have bee around a while. It will be interesting to see where and when it was rung.
