Dorset - Athelhampton Bardolf Farm - Cattle Egrets Return!

 

I kept an eye on Athelhampton this morning and eventually located the Cattle Egrets on the flooded meadows south of Athelhampton Road. The birds are mobile feeding and then moving on to another area. A Buzzard disturbed them this afternoon all four flying low east towards Tolpuddle.

I drove the flooded areas towards Tolpuddle, locating a single bird on the flooded fields in front of Affpuddle village. Was this part of the original flock or an additional bird?!

With water levels as they are at present and more rain expected anything could turn up on the numerous flooded meadows!
