Thanks to local birder Viv Keene, I managed to get a day time view of what is presumably(?) the same Night Heron that I first found back on May 18th and sound recorded at night on June 15th. Update: The bird was also seen and photographed on the River Otter south of Clamour Bridge on 19th August: https://www.devonbirds.org/bird-sighting/night-heron-river-otter-east-devon/
In other news, it was great to confirm the first successful breeding and fledging of 2 young Oystercatchers on the reserve.
