Little Egret puzzler

The cool westerly wind continues, mainly sunny.

All the birds on both occasions were just resting, none feeding.

Middleton Nature Reserve late afternoon (MD)

Mute swan. Two pairs with 3 and 4 cygnet, plus 5 additional adult 

Coot 6

Moorhen 6

Mallard 21

Little Grebe 3

Little egret 1

House Martin 5

Swallow feeding all over the reserve at least 16

Swift 4 in afternoon at least 6 in a brief evening check

Darter 1 mature male - too brief to confirm species.

I saw the Little Egret on the other side of the main pond. The coot family passing in front of it, so took this snap.

Just after this it flew off. I then noticed on the pictures that its legs were yellow 

My first thoughts were Cattle Egret but Pete and Dan confirmed that it was a juvenile Little Egret. I didn't know that juveniles had yellow legs (I do now MD). Anyway, it's the first one I've seen.
