Remember the Little Egret that appeared at Toad Holes Beck on 13/4. Well my thoughts at the time were that it was a migrant bird possibly on it’s way to the Aire Valley.
It now appears it maybe a non-breeding male that has settled in the south Bradford area, as a L Egret was seen at Heckmondwike on the 6th of May.
Now on Saturday the 16th of May a LG appears again at THBeck.
There is one other possibly ( which is exciting) the species is expanding it’s range and maybe looking at south Bradford to one day breed…or am I dreaming!
However, I have received a report that two birds were seen together at the site a few weeks ago!
