October 2013 Cattle Egret

Took these pictures on my holiday in St Lucia.  I am really glad that we are starting to get these birds more regularly in the UK.

October 2014 Cormorant fighting loosing battle for breakfast!

This cormorant caught a fish but spent too long trying to get it swallowed.  There's always a hungry mouth around in nature with eyes on your meal.

Taking too long to get it down!

Neither the Cormorant or Gull got their meal!
