    Yeh - but what's everybody else having for tea Hosta?   :D
    Oh LP - shame about the tree, but glad you're ok and eye issue is fixable. That's more important  :)
    No idea who Orla Mathingummy is either Obelixx...we must be very old  ;)

    What are you trying to imply Obs - that I'm not a Vicky Beckham style icon?  :D

    Saw several on the fields near MIL in S Lincs at the weekend ... quite a few in the wetter regions of East Anglia nowadays ... you can almost always see them on the River Stour mudflats  at Manningtree in Essex  on the train from London to East Anglia

    Also called cattle egrets.  We'd see one or two in Belgium in the beef cattle pastures but far more of the bigger, heron sized versions which came for winter.   Here, where it's warmer and drier we see far more and they do closely follow the cattle.

    FG - no, just not bothered with "fashion".  Personal style is so much better.
