Oxenhope Reservoirs

I spent a few quiet hours at the reservoirs this aft.
If it had been a day at the races, I’d have not backed a winner.
It was a bitterly cold day with a strong NW wind.

    At least you,ve stopped me wondering if the Goldies were back at Upper Marsh yet.
    I should try cropping the mystery object, its either a plastic bag or the Little Egret that around,

    I was looking for Goldies up there , but saw non Bri.
    Tried to enhance the Mystery Object but the image was on the limit of my zoom and the crop is just fuzz. But it does have a 'Little Egret' look about now you mention it - never occurred to me at the time - most probably because it was pouring down and B cold today. I could do with your eyesight!!
    Thanks for the comments.
