Grey Herons are native to Europe, Asia, and Africa. So its unlikely, however they are considered rare vagrants to North America, seen rarely on the East Coast and in Alaska. Grey and Blue Herons are incredible alike, in certain lighting conditions Blue Herons can be mistaken for Grey Herons.

Bitterns are usually very elusive but visitors have enjoyed lots of sightings of them at our North Cave Wetlands reserve this winter!

Little Egret in flight, landing in very low light, its white feathers hardly distinguishing from the background water, which is a dull grey colour..
