Well spotted JT, I saw it when I was in Mallorca on holiday. There was a small nature reserve near to where we stayed and I used to go across to feed the fish and ducks every night. One day I saw the Egret standing there, it was a lovely bird, very graceful.
I also saw a large black bird which I thought might have been some sort of Osprey or Vulture and it didnt half give me a thrill to see it. Sadly it flew off very suddenly before I got a photo.
Much of the northern part of the island is a large nature reserve and its a real joy to explore
