Hawkes Bay - 3 Great Egret
Posted: Thu Apr 11, 2024 4:05 pm
Hi all,
Hey AC - I see your 2 Great Egrets and raise you one!
We almost always have a single Great Egret over Winter somewhere in the Napier/Hastings area, but this year a bird first seen at Haumoana (the estuary of the Tukituki River) in mid-March, was joined by another after a couple of weeks and then by a third last week.
All three birds were feeding together within about 20m of each other this afternoon.
cheers
