Jabiru and Egrets at Fogg Dam Reserve wetlands east of Darwin
I was never very happy with this shot at the time, I wanted closer shots, I could have happily sat there all day, but the tour bus (en route to jumping crocs cruise) gave us a 5 min stop.
Looking back I am amazed at how many egrets were in this shot.
The Jabiru (Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus) aka Asian black necked stork is not the same bird as the Jabiru ( Jabiru mycteria) found in Mexico and south America.
@jenrobcarr yep, nearly. I saw a few jabiru, and did see some brolgas dancing in the middle of the Stuart Highway about 100km north of Katherine as we sped towards them hoping they'd stop dancing on the road before we got there, I do actually have a couple of shots of them taken through the windscreen
Nice capture. We have them visit here occasionally (jabirus, I mean) and they are too shy to catch easily, so well done with this. I've got a very poor pic of one flying overhead.
