Little Egret

standing on the muddy island, which has formed in one of our dams. It was so dry and the dams were losing water, but fortunately we had some rain.

Beautiful detail!

[Monique]

Great shot, it looks a little angry ...

[Shanne]

anthropomorphising but it looks grumpy, as if it's wondering where all the water has gone

[KoalaGardens🐨]

this is a great shot - so good to hear you did get some rain, I'm sure you need more tho

[Graham Harcombe]

Great capture!

[Pam Knowler]

What a beauty!

[Helge Erik Storheim]

How can it stay that white in all that mud ? :-) Beautiful bird and great shot

[Peter Day]

[Valerie Chesney]

[Desi]

Another excellent shot. Well done on consistently capturing so much fine detail. You are amazing

[Steve Pooley]

Your egrets look bigger than the ones here. Has a determined look.

[Gillian]

Lovely sharp capture! He looks rather disgruntled!

[Casablanca]

What a fierce look in his face! Loving the tufty hair too

[gloria jones]

Terrific capture

[katy]

beautiful

[Jane Pittenger]

Maybe a tad overexposed but stunning nonetheless. White especially in the sun is so hard not to over expose

[amyK]

Stands out nicely against the background tones

@jgpittenger Oh Jane, I did it again! I get so excited when I see something to photograph that I forget everything else. I will have to make a mental note each time to check ;-)
