View Full Version : Cattle egret
A Cattle Egret is present at Scrabster. A first for the county I believe.

This bird is a bigger rarity than I first thought, I have been told from one source it could only be the fifth ever scottish record.

Wow, Kas encellent pics. Especially with the bird between two cows ! A true Cattle Egret.
I was delighted to see this rarity today and even more so when you phoned to say it is even rarer than first anticipated.
Excellent twitch for Caithness.

That's a brilliant photo, how did you manage to get Angela5 and her twin sister to pose with that birdie? :eek:
Wait a minute.....I'm the bird, Isn't that you Connie and your twin peggy.
It is still here, if anyone is interested.:)

thanks for the update kas, I managed to spot your find at the start of the week but did not get close enough to try and get a photo. I went out again mid-week and could not find it so thought it had moved on, I'll take a run out again over the weekend and see if I can find it again.
thanks again for the info
Let us know if you get any nice shots Les. It has been in the field opposite the barn today and yesterday around 4pm.
