 Living up to their common name, doing their stuff on the Somerset Levels picking out food from the ground disturbed by the cattle.  You get Little Egrets in this area too, but the yellow bill is diagnostic w.r.t. the black bill of Little Egret  From the RSPB They often spend time close to livestock like sheep and cows and grab the insects and worms their hooves disturb.  and that's pretty much what these guys seem to be doing on this misty late Autumn day
