4th March..... GWE?

After a call from Don this morning of a sighting of a possible great white egret he saw close to the Amersham bypass, I went to see if I could find it. But no joy, checked local know spots but could only find it’s smaller cousin the little egret. Carried on along the Misbourne, through Little Missenden, parked up and walked to Shardeloes. Passed the menagerie en route where the  stag turkey ( black I think not bronze ) was displaying to his hen behind a heavily wired fox proof pen and the miniature pigs, kunekune possibly,  were busy rooting around their enclosure.

In the field next to the lake maybe 100 Canada geese were grazing.

In addition to the black headed gulls on the lake these four, two adult and two 1^st winter juveniles were busy preening.

Another little egret on way back to car. Stopped at Deep Mill Pond, but nothing of note there.
