Cattle Egret - Ogmore Estuary

An anticipated, but still very welcome, addition to the avifauna of Ogmore Estuary this morning, in the form of a Cattle Egret. It was initially around horses upstream of the castle, but was also noted at the Watermill and Ploran Mawr, having been flushed several times by people tending the animals.
I wonder how long this species will remain a 'rarity' in our area?
