Little Egret, Porth Hellick Pool, St. Mary's, Isles of Scilly 11th May 2010

This fine Little Egret had spent majority of its time at Porth Hellick Pool on the far side but for fifteen minutes it flew across to the near side and fed just to the south of the Seaward Hide. It was nervous, always alert to the camera shutter going off but it did make it's way closer and closer to the hide until it eventually decided the may was the place to be and departed.
