Little egret

I spent the morning making a couple of sourdough loaves and some celeriac, broccoli and bacon soup which, with crunchy bacon pieces on top, I had for lunch. The wind was cold in the afternoon and I walked quickly around the usual circuit.  There are plenty of little egrets or white herons on the Wash but this one seems to have taken up residence in the field edge dyke I walk beside.  I have seen it a few times in the past few days.
