It was quiet for birds, but there were plenty of butterflies about. We saw quite a few Red Admirals and some Peacocks and Brimstones.
This Common Darter rested for a short while on a rather dead looking plant, not sure what that is!
The highlight for us though was watching 4 Cattle Egrets close to a site where they have bred for the first time in this country. There were three adults and one younster. Lovely to see.

Great header photo Jen, nice to see the Tor again although I am not sure from which direction you took it.
Lovely shots of the Cattle Egrets as well,

Cattle egrets with cattle, how great.
-- the other Wren
Hi Alan
Hope they come back next year. I reckon Spoonbills will be next.
Hi Roy, between Godney and Wells. Believe me, I was on the other side of a gate from the cows! (-: Yes with 300mm lens.
Hi Wren, nice of you to drop by, thanks, yes, an appropriate shot I guess...am off now to look at your blog. Cheers Jen
You had a great weekend Jenny! Love the egret and the peacock is my favorite!!
Sorry to hear you didn't get in to snuggle up to the cows!!
Those cattle egrets are great! How neat that they are breeding. The butterflies are beautiful and very colorful!
