No sign of Night Heron at Cosmeston

No positive reports from Cosmeston regarding the Night Heron, so far today. I attach a record shot of the little beauty from yesterday evening. It was showing incredibly well with only the low sun to complain about!
A cracking bird and a very welcome surprise for most of us, apart that is for Rob Mitchell who pretty much predicted it! Mind you Rob has a track record of his own with rare herons in Glamorgan so perhaps his prediction had a certain amount of inevitability attached.
