| Résumé : | Following a dramatic change in the level and pattern of occurrence in Britain during the last ten years, the first successful breeding in Britain by Little Egrets Egretta garzetta occurred in 1996. On Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour, Dorset, one pair raised three young in 1996, and five pairs reared 12 young in 1997. This paper describes the background to this colonisation and suggests what future this attractive species may have in Britain. |
