The Great Egrets share this rookery with the big Herons. Not by choice, it’s just a great place to nest, they actually hate each other.

Like Herons some Egrets show up early too. However by the time males and females pair up they are at least a month behind in nesting. The prime spots are long gone.

This one will hang about, leave to hunt, and come back and wait. At least we can get some images as they sit around. Egrets building nests is chaos, so get some photos now.
