Thankfully this time on the reserve one of the Great White Egret was obviously hanging around instead of us just missing him each time he moved. A Red-crested Pochard on the small pool to the right as you enter the reserve through the visitor centre was a great delight and surprise. The list was looking rather pedestrian as we drove over to the ARC pit until we stopped to check what the white bird a small group were looking at the by entrance to the driveway. Lo and behold - a Spoonbill! We watched it for a while until it wandered into a ditch and could no longer be seen, then proceeded to see an excellent flying Bittern close to the hide on the ARC pit. On the route back to the car, we again saw the Spoonbill, flying overhead. All in all, an excellent day.
Photos are a bit lacking in quantity and quality from this trip, sorry!
