Western Cattle Egret has bred at two new sites in West Sussex this summer as the species' colonisation of southern England goes from strength to strength.

At least three nests were found at Arundel WWT in early September, all with hatched chicks. They were discovered after adults were seen carrying nest material in late August.

Reserve Manager Suzi Lanaway said: "We were hopeful they were building nests and we are so excited to have seen the chicks!"
