Yesterday evenings (17th) Twitter message from Julian Thomas…
Juv Night Heron on N’most pool along Dagg’s Lane Drove at Westhay Moor 8.45pm. Only took 6 goes to see one of them!

  And no sign 5am-9am this morning, 7/8/17, from Daggs Lane Drove.  At dawn the Egret roost consisted of 2 Great Whites, 8 Littles and 5 Cattles, with 31 Cormorants in adjacent trees.  Also seen 2 Bitterns and a Hobby.

No sign late evening up to 22:00 hrs from Dagg’s Lane Drove.
Small group of Cattle Egrets, I saw 3 with 3 Little Egrets (others reported up to 9), with the roosting Cormorants.

Sadly no sign of Night Herons from North Hide on Friday 4th August. However, great banter from Graham C & Alan A.

Good views of Juvenile Marsh Harrier.

Somerset Wildlife Trust have today announced that a pair of Night Herons have bred for the first time in the UK at their Westhay Moor National Nature Reserve successfully fledging two juveniles which have recently been seen in flight.

I can add that at dusk on 26-July, Kay and I and Paul Clement saw a juvenile that flew down the lake to perch on low dead tree branches and then 10 mins later a pair of adults flew out from trees and circled together, calling loudly over our heads, while we were stood on Dagg’s Lane Drove.
