What could this bird be?
I saw a bird the other day while on holiday in Dorset. It was on the sandbanks of Mudeford (near Christchurch). It looked a bit like a stork (but a smaller version of) and was white but with yellowy-orange feet. It had a straight beak and was a wader I think (it was walking through some water by the sandbanks/marshes anyway).
I’m very intrigued because I can’t seem to find it in either of my British bird books.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Having looked at some photos, I’m thinking it may have been a Snowy Egrett. Do these have red feet?
It was most likely a little egret which is similar in appearance to the snowy egret.
