It was on the River Aire, near Castleford. It was quite an urban area so surprised to see an Egret - but I suppose they'll be happy any where as long as there is food

Lovely pics, Dande, especially the vole. We had a family of water voles close by a few years ago but haven't seen them recently

Thanks Spades - there were 3 or 4 buzzing about - they're very quick. Used to see water voles often when I was in primary school in Burnley - there was a stream that ran past the school and there were lots in there. Not seen any for years either.

Lovely Spades. Haven;'t seen that many ducklings on the river here this year (The Dodder), but, I did spy an otter again when I was walking to work the other day. I think a weekend of river watching might be in order when I get back in a little while.
