21st May - sunny, hot 24C, light breeze

Eyebrook reservoir; I was going to visit here, but news that a Cattle Egret had been sighted last evening made it a bit more interesting.

I did find the Cattle Egret, taking flies off the cattle as they laid in the sun, in the approach field along the lane.  I tried for a photo, but distanced and heat simmer were not favourable, but you get the idea.

An Osprey popped-in fishing and a Red Kite drifted over.  Nothing unusual out on the water.  Warblers singing included Whitethroat, Blackcap, Garden and Sedge.  A couple of Goldfinch, several Reed Buntings.
