A Burnham-On-Sea beach walker has captured these photos of a hungry Little Egret fishing on the town’s beach.
The bird has been photographed on several days this week near the low lighthouse catching fish from water left after high tides.
The RSPB says: “The Little Egret is a small white heron with attractive white plumes on crest, back and chest, black legs and bill and yellow feet.”
“It first appeared in the UK in significant numbers in 1989 and first bred in Dorset in 1996. Its arrival followed naturally from a range expansion into western and northern France in previous decades.”
