Purple Heron at Titchwell: a find for Brian and me!

Robin Chittenden has kindly pointed out that the bird Brian and I found at Titchwell was a juvenile, while the previous long-stayer was an adult. As I mentioned to Robin, we didn't manage to connect with the earlier bird, but did see the juvenile at Burnham Overy Staithe. In our minds we got the two birds confused and assumed that the earlier Titchwell bird was also a juvenile.

Funnily enough, I showed my images to five or six of the excellent volunteers and they also assumed it was the bird that was last seen three weeks ago! So: Brian and I found our first semi-rarity of the year!
