LITTLE EGRETS roosting on island at Spade Oak
I stayed a little later than everyone else to see a third LITTLE EGRET fly in to roost on the north-side of the island at Spade Oak GP. At about 10pm whilst looking for Gloworms (16 seen) a Common Sandpiper flew over the railway bank towards the Thames calling. I could still hear one calling towards the spit so could have just flown in (Kevin Duncan)
