I quite often take the dog for an evening walk down by the reserve entrance towards Deganwy.

I've noticed that the numbers of Little Egrets seem to be increasing at the moment. There always seems to be a group of 5-6 birds together on the water's edge and last night I counted 26 in the trees across the water.

I have seen double numbers accross the water many times and I'm very pleased to see such numbers......I find them most enjoyable to watch.

Hi Adrian
the egrets have recently left their nests and it appears to have been a good year for them - they have bred near the reserve for the past 4 years. The trees you mention is where they roost in an evening. This time of year it is good to see them coming in between 8 and 9.

At least 15 on the water's edge tonight plus 5+ in the trees.
