Great White Egret

(ardea alba)
The Great White Egret is a rare vagrant to Scotland. The first set of images were taken at Wards Pond which is part of the Loch Lomond National Nature Reserve around the River Endrick. By coincidence another Great White Egret was present at the same time at Loch Doon in South Ayrshire. Also, surprisingly, another Great White Egret had previously been found at Wards Pond in March 2005 - could it have been the same bird back again ?
The second set of images were taken at some pools by the River Avon near the village of Gilmourton in Lanarkshire. It was unfortunately a dull grey misty morning. This bird hung around in the area for many weeks.
