Great White Egret in the Dark

A few weeks back a friend of mine from the Hen Harrier project told me he seen what he thought was a GWE on Lahinch Marsh. The bird eluded me for a few weeks then I saw it near the Links Golf coarse last week and again on Lahinch beach yesterday

Since November 2016 there has been 9 or 10 recorded Great white Egrets in Clare,.

Ballyallia Lake Ennis, Shannon airport Lagoon, Lough Grady, Lough Atedaun Corofin, Doonbeg and now Lahinch Marsh.

Its a special moment when we discovered the bird in the dark at roost with the Little Egrets 

I hope we have a keeper!
