Spotted this week....

We spotted a 'Little Egret' on the Lizard this week. These small white herons are most often seen around wet ground, ditches, ponds and streams, where they feed on insects, small fish and amphibians.

Seeing an Egret is a useful sign for biodiversity because it suggests the habitat is supporting a working food chain: healthy water margins and damp areas produce invertebrates and other prey, which then attract birds higher up the chain.
