It HAS been a white christmas around the Ely10. A couple of Bewick Swans joined the Stretham swan flock but the White-fronts had moved on.
It seems incredible that in the last couple of years Great White Egrets have become bump into birds around the fens and a flock of Cattle Egrets around Welney a semi-permanent fixture. A Great White Egret stalking through the floods at Earith braved increasingly heavy rainfall, surely making the search for food beneath the bubbling meniscus much more difficult.
Cattle Egrets, showing a much more seek and destroy tactic through the rough, wet grassland of Lady Fen.
