Three tremendous images of the Great White Egret presently at Slapton Ley, taken by Andrew Cunningham and Mark Darlaston.

Mike Langman reports that the bird is still present (on 17th) and showing well from the bridge separating the higher and lower leys. Although it spends much of its time deep in the reedy channels of the higher ley, it does fly around quite regularly.
