Squacco Heron, Crowland, Lincs, a PBC (and UK) tick

In the early morning, the Squacco was relocated at Gull Farm fishing pond. At approaching 9am it took off...
...and flew south, roughly parallel with the River Welland
Three miles to the south of Gull Farm is a linear fishing pond at Gravel Causeway, Crowland where the little heron landed and proceeded to spend most of the day fishing and eating damselflies, among the water lilies
With a blue damselfly in its bill
Then, it was off again...
