Hauxley NR, Northumberland
128: Little Egret * Lifer No. 191 * :loveme:
129: Puffin
The sea off Hauxley was ALIVE with birds - predominantly puffins, guillemots, gannets and various terns.
Chuffed to bits about seeing the Egret as it's been one of my birding ambitions to *finally* catch up with one :t:
What a great day.........what a great HOBBY!!!!! o
