This photograph was taken on the Isle of Wight.</p> <p><img width="480" height="480" src="/Media/Default/blog%20pics/littleEgret.jpg" /></p> <p>Little egrets were once common in Britain but over-hunting during the medieval period may have contributed to their disappearance from these shores for many centuries. During the nineteen-eighties, however, they reappeared and now, as well as autumn and winter visitors from the continent, there are even some breeding pairs in some parts of southern England.</p> <p>Footpaths extend for miles around the Camel estuary and it isn't hard to imagine the diversity of wildlife that might exist. Come and have a look for youself. Golden Sands cottages are fully centrally-heated, for those magical winter months.</p> <p><img width="480" height="480" src="/Media/Default/blog%20pics/egret_1.jpg" /></p> <p>In another blog post about beach walks, and one about Cornwall's industrial and prehistoric heritage, nested comments have been allowed. Here, just for illustration, they are not. The choice it entirely up to you. Individual comments do not have a 'reply' button next to them and visitors can only comment on the main blog, not on other comments by visitors. This behaviour can be adjusted for each blog post.</p> <p>Tags are another useful feature. Each of these blog articles is tagged with a keyword, and by clicking one of these tags, a list of all the pages and articles with this tag is displayed. For example, by clicking the tag 'wildlife', a page is loaded with links to this blog post and to the 'Squirrel' blog post.</p>Sat, 22 Feb 2014 17:08:00 GMThttps://goldensands.azurewebsites.net:443/golden-sands-blog/little-egret
