16 with Cattle on Tealham Moor and another 36 at Catcott Lows this morning - also Steve Hughes had a Spoonbill make a short visit to Ham Wall, (Godwins area) then flew off West, it didn’t pitch up at Catcott Lows so probably somewhere on the Parrett Estuary
At least 97 Cattle Egrets at Canada Lake roost on Friday evening
Saw 11 on my way south earlier, but none on way back, about 11am.

At least 12 Cattle Egrets on Tealham both yesterday afternoon and this morning. They were in fields close to the junction that leads to Heath house close to some young cattle.
There were 21 cattle egrets with cattle on King’s Sedgemoor, up Ackland’s drove near Beer, Aller today at 3.30. This is the first time I have seen cattle egrets this side of the Poldens.
There was about 10 Little Egrets feeding on Canada Lake which ended up in the roost
Most of the Cattle Egrets came in from the Shapwick direction with a few from Catcott and many of them landed in the dead trees in the water near the willow before joining the roost
Were there any Little Egrets using the roost Mark?
Amazing numbers of Cattle Egrets roosting in large willow tree at Canada Lake Shapwick NNR.

Also 10 Great White Egrets on Sat.
