Purple Heron shows up in Somerset...

   A Purple Heron (Ardea purpurea) made a rare visit to southern Britain recently where it was spotted from a hide at Noah's Lake, on the Avalon Marshes, in Somerset.   Deep purple shading is usually seen on the bird's back.   It normally breeds in Africa, southern Europe and southern Asia.
