This Egret has recently been residing in a Chinnor garden and has possibly been in the vicinity
for some time. Through some discussion and online reading, we have it down as a hybrid,
opinions as to the parentage are of course welcomed.
Thanks to Jez March for forwarding the photos and report.
Interesting - looks like the same bird that was photographed in the same area in 2013! I wonder where that has been.
ReplyDeleteCould this be an intermediate egret?
ReplyDeleteThe bill as well as the overall size and structure just weren't quite right for Intermediate.
