Single little Egret roosting in trees on southern side of res. It looked settled as I walked up to the top end and back until it was hassled by two crows and flew off east at 21:10.
Little Egret still around this morning at 1020 at far western end of Ogden Res.
It was difficult to see in the narrow inlet from Public Footpaths around the Res.. I only saw it from high above the Rossendale Way below Musbury Heights. Seemed to be having great success fishing in this shallow section of the Res
