A hungry egret has been snapped enjoying a fish dinner.
The great white egret has been making the most of the habitat at Arundel's wetland centre for a few weeks now.
Sightings of this bird were once rare in Britain but have increased over the past 20 years as more and more fly over from Europe.

It is thought that the birds are being spotted in Sussex more often due to climate change.
The egret is closely related to the grey heron, a more common sighting, and is about the same size.
Visitors have had fun spotting this striking bird at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust reserve as it is much larger than cattle egrets and little egrets which are regulars around the reserve.
