Breakfast worm

A cattle egret enjoying what looks to me like a truly revolting breakfast.  The wading birds tend to wash the silt of their catches, but cattle egrets just take the worms down mud and all - and seem to relish it all.  I guess it takes all sorts, but if re-incarnation is a thing, I'd rather not be a cattle egret next time around!

After a glorious weekend of sunshine, today has been wet and drizzly with plenty of low cloud.  From the bird song, the birds like it, and the garden has no doubt enjoyed the water.
