I would love to have seen the egret. Haven't seen one since that pair famously visited a number of years ago.
I could've sworn I saw a kingfisher zoom past me along Barton Path once a couple of decades ago, but couldn't find anyone who could reliably confirm to me that they are actually a thing in Dover. Also at Connaught Park once. Just a quick "what was that" flash of brilliant blue both times. I would love to spot one properly!
Does this current Barton Path one have a favourite perch perchance?
