An Odd looking Little Egret

A small wader was discovered at the gravel pit complex at Misson, Nottinghamshire. On 25th September it was initially identified as a Red-necked Stint. I went to see it on 26th September and never felt it was quite right for a RNS. After viewing numerous photos and closer scrutiny of the bird, it was re-identified on 26th September as a Little Stint. What was more interesting was this “Blue Morph” Little Egret that was feeding in amongst 6 Great White Egrets, a single Cattle Egret and numerous Little Egret.
