After finishing the shopping we walked across to the far side of Latham's parking area and immediately bumped into Ian Brittain and several other old acquaintances: they had seen the bird and advised us where to look. After a few minutes, the bird appeared by some large bins, allowing distant views: Linda and I were pleased to find we were sharing this delightful bird with ex-pupil and chum Tina and her aunt Tonia!
The bird gradually moved nearer, before flying across to a public footpath to the east of the river. From here we enjoyed really close views, and - from a nearby footbridge - discovered two distant Cattle Egrets. On the way home we searched through a roadside flock of Pinkfeet, but there was nothing out of the ordinary with them.
