On Monday 13/4 I had been invited to take the Oakenshaw Walking group on a nature walk around Raw Nook LNR.
Has I was walking to the pick up point I thought I would checkout the fisherman’s pond at nearby Toad Holes Beck.
To my delight there was a Little Egret ( A site first) feeding on the bank with 4 Grey Herons!!!
I spoke to the walking group and explained about the rare bird. We could go see it or go to nearby RN.
To my delight the 19 members enthusiastically jumped at the opportunity to see our special visitor!
So we all set off however, panic set in as I thought what if the bird as flown off!!
Thankfully it was still showing well and everyone managed to see it.
In fact people were so enthusiastic after 20 minutes I suggested we move on Oh! no ‘ Just one more photo!’ Which was Brilliant!
So this nature walk will live long in all our memories!
