Medium-sized white heron, slim and elegant. Black legs with sharply contrasting bright yellow toes. Bill black.

Nests colonially in dense trees and bushes at shallow marshy lakes, ribers and coastal lagoons.

Notes:

Little egrets have been recorded in Wales, but as far as I know, they are very rare so far North in England.
