A pair of Great Egrets has successfully nested in Scotland for the first time, marking the most northerly breeding record of the species in Britain.

On 22 August, three Great Egret chicks were seen leaving their nest near Loch of Strathbeg RSPB reserve in Aberdeenshire.

It is thought that the adults had been visiting the reserve for a few years, nesting this year for the first time in a tree nearby.
