Little Egret

While there have been a few Great White Egrets around locally recently (that I have failed to see) you can pretty much guarantee seeing the smaller Little Egret on the coast and even some reservoirs and lakes. On the Wirral coast I came across quite a few. Some were quite obliging too and flew and landed close by, just as this particular individual.


A Black-headed Gull in the background for size comparison.

  1. Hello! So great photos! The photo where the Little Egret is with the Black-headed gull is a good for comparison. I didn’t know that the Little Egret is so little.

  9. I still amazes me that the Little Egret outnumbers the once common Grey Heron by a factor of 10-20/1, depending upon the time of year. Yet seemingly both occupy the same niche?

  15. I have seen a few of these birds in our area. I wonder if they are part of the migratory flock and have decided to stay behind.

  25. I always like to see them (seemingly) shaking the water off their foot, like in the first picture. We see egrets here in Oregon and in Florida (but three different kinds there and only the little one here). i never tire of them.
