great white egret this morning in the field on the left of rindle road, astley (the one leading up to the feeding station) with the fishing pond in. Present from 11am and no doubt the bird seen over the M60 at barton the other day

Initial info thanks to eddie king

Further info/sightings on the astley, chat and irlam mosses thread
