Cattle egrets - NOT amateur radio

It looks very likely these will be the next bird to extend range and establish themselves as breeding birds in the UK. Already they seem to be spreading in South Devon with a flock of 51 seen a few weeks ago. It would not surprise me to see these everywhere in a few years.

Don't get me started on these haha - we had one nesting on our roof, snapped off the radial on the 2m Colinear and pecked away at the string supporting the Long Wire antenna - needless to say both are now repaired and operational
