30th July: Peak count of Little Egrets on Lindisfarne NNR

At 8.00am this morning, 21 Little Egrets were spotted just south of the Causeway next to the mainland. This is the highest ever count of Little Egrets on Lindisfarne NNR - Reserve staff headed out to take some fantastic photographs of the group:

If you are visiting Holy Island today, keep a look out for this group of elegant Little Egrets to your right as you approach the Causeway. You can park in Beal car park and view the birds from here - remember not to get too close to them to prevent disturbance.
