Little Egret

Spotted this little guy fishing near the Corn Mill a few days back. Drove past there on the way home today and there he was with his mate. One of my very few attempts at bird photography, nowhere near as easy as I'd hoped!

I think you did a great job. My white bird photos are usually overexposed.

@cmsch52 @megpicatilly @lynnz @kwind Thanks very much indeed, I used a 70-300mm lens (and some cropping) and as I was the width of the river away, I was very glad he showed up

Lovely study. We have had a local colony for about five years but I never even thought about trying to get a shot.

@royrj You are so lucky! I saw one little egret on its own and didn't realise they were becoming fairly common around here, it was the first I'd ever seen. Luckily he seems to have a mate. I look forward to your egret pictures:)
