Todays Purple Heron was definitely not a showy bird

Apart from the Purple Heron, a Greenshank flew over Dengemarsh, an adult Cattle Egret was on the Boulderwall Fields, a Garganey was still on the Hay Fields and a few Swifts were seen but little else of note. Yesterdays Black-winged Stilts departed over night and have probably relocated to Worth Marshes.
