Had a good day at Middleton Lakes RSPB. A Great White Egret was the main attraction but seeing 3 species of Woodpecker was also worthy of note. The Great White Egret was favouring the southern pools: Fishers Mill and the pool next to it. The bird frequently flew around these pools often in the company of a Little Egret before flying off fairly high to the South East at 2.40pm. Thanks to a phone call from Geoff W. I also saw 3 Turnstone, a Dunlin, several Ringed plover and a Little ringed Plover on the Jubilee wetlands. It was approaching the car park though that I saw the Lesser spotted Woodpeckers a great surprise to end the visit.
