Hello John! There is so little water that these egrets are not going to starve for a while. It is difficult to swallow an eel live as you show us but they all manage that. The little egret is normally the better fish catcher because of its footwork but here it’s not necessary and besides in this mud… I hope enough of the eels will remain for future occasions ! Like herons egrets always stuff themselves whenever they can. I wonder what kind of weather you are having : I have never seen the water so shallow since I watch. Have a good end of August ! It seems that France has to wait for October for migrations. I guess it must start earlier in the UK. Best of everything ‼️Thank you‼️👋👋😊😊‼️
Thank you Patricia. We had one summer where every lagoon dried out except for a small pool at the bottom of the second one (water is high in there at the moment). When it drops there we have had some of our best birds in the past. Lesser Yellowlegs and Grey Phalarope for example. The lagoons are named in honour of the French Cistercian monks who drained and farmed these lands. In order they are called Monk’s, Prior’s and Bec’s. Best of luck as always!👍🏻😎‼️
@@johnluk Thank you so much for your answer. It was interesting on all points! Phalarope and lesser yellow leg! Phalaropes normally prefer cold climates ( Iceland is a place for them) but lesser yellow legs that is unusual. I will be waiting to see what comes up in your autumn migration. I believe last year was incredibly dry in Europe. I remember staying 2 months and having no rain at all. Goldcliff must have had its drought problems as well then also. I wished we could go back to normal weather but it’s a thing of the past. Wishing you the best of everything!👋👋😊😊🐦🐦🐦‼️
@@maihangstrawberry Chào Mai. Bạn nói đúng, có rất ít nước ở hai hồ nhưng hồ thứ ba đã đầy. Có những con chim ở đó ngày hôm qua, những người đàn ông đang lắp đặt hàng rào mới đã khiến chúng sợ hãi vào ngày tôi quay bộ phim này nhưng sẽ có bộ phim thứ hai chiếu những con chim còn lại. 😊💖
This is almost like a fairly common sight to see in Malaysia, as both species replace actual gulls as "gulls", apart from terns. They are commonly seen in rice paddyfields and water habitats like wetlands and swamps alike.
@@theflipflapchannelcreatedb8160 that’s interesting, of course until fairly recently neither of the Egrets were breeding in Britain and the Great White is still fairly rare here in Wales.
@@johnluk In recent years , because of climate change in global warming , these birds have become prolific breeders. This rapid north distribution expansion has been quite miraculous somehow.
That’s absolutely right Thomas, although one of the lagoons remains full, I think that’s fed by a stream that starts in the hills near here. Hoping that the levels drop in that pool soon as an island usually forms which has been one of the best places in Goldcliff for viewing waders. We’ve had Ruff, Greenshank, Common and Spotted Redshank, Sanderling, Knot, Dunlin, Little Stint, Snipe and more all jostling for space on the island.
Beautiful John. Love the areas you video. I feel although I am there sitting along with the wildlife.
Thank you so much. It’s really encouraging to get feedback like this.
Amazing behaviour well done John
Cheers Paul. They replenished the water in that lagoon so hopefully will attract a nice set of waders in the autumn!

Nuốt một con mồi dài dài cũng mất khá nhiều thời gian . 😊
Không có nước , hầu như là một bãi bùn lớn .
Cũng không có nhiều chim . 💖

@@johnluk T cũng nghĩ vậy . Bộ phim này riêng về Heron và Egrets . 😊💖

Looks like not much rain this summer, water level is lower than normally I guess herons and egrets have easier to find food.

@@johnluk usually more mudflats means more shorebirds, more changes for rarities 👍
@@FollowThomas Definitely! we’ve already had a Baird’s Sandpiper but I’ve got a feeling we could pick up another rarity before too long!
🤔👍👍👍 czym się żywią?
