If I lived in Hexham....

....I would check the Tyne for a Little Bittern ;)

It seems as if the market towns of Northumberland are vying for supremacy in the vagrant heron stakes. The Morpeth Squacco just about 'out ranked' todays Great White Egret in Alnwick. What on earth is going on here, have these birds never heard of Druridge Bay...I hope the Duke of Northumberland doesn't see it, he'll charge it rent...

Although only a few miles from home, it might as well have been on the moon because I was stuck 26 miles away at work. I'll try in the morning, its a while since I had a Great White in the county...

I like the Duke comment, Stewart. That just about sums up my own view.

If he doesn't charge it rent, he'll shoot it!
