| 01/05/21 | Purple Heron | Brading Marsh | 1 | M Buckley |
| 08:00 | Seen at 08.00 with ABr, flying east of Bexley Point but against the light, therefore no plumage details were seen but the strikingly long and thin neck and head were held extended for the entire time, and we were fairly sure it was Purple and not Grey. Soon dropped down into the reed bed. RPA saw it again in good light at 10.05, flying briefly in the same area before it, again, dropped into the reed bed, and he confirmed the ID.
