Cattle Egret and Ring-billed Gull at West Angle

The adult Ring-billed Gull at West Angle was joined by a Cattle Egret at c.08:30 this morning. However, the Cattle Egret, which was in the root crop being grazed by cattle next to the car park, was harrassed mercilessly by a very territorial Little Egret until it flew inland. I suspect, however, that it is still in the fields around West Angle somewhere - as it didn't seem to be intent on flying far - and there are plenty of cattle around in the area. Worth checking the root crop next to the car park though if you are in the area.

It is worth checking whether the bird is still in the Sandy Haven area - if any one is planning a visit? The West Angle bird has a noticably buff-peach coloured crown, but as I haven't been across to see the Sandy Haven bird, I don't know whether this is relevant.

By the way, thanks Lyndon, I was beginning to think I was the only person who had seen the Ring-billed Gull. It's a good looking bird, though not easy to photograph.
