A lovely shot, egrets are beautiful birds aren't they.
One thing I did notice is that you post your pictures full size, approx. 4 or 5 MB and that will take longer to upload. I crop my pictures for posting to about 1000 pixels across and that reduces the size to about 500 KB which is decidedly smaller. You don't need to post a full size picture on here as it doesn't make any difference to the quality of the photo. If you check out one of my photos on the Exif (view info) you will see what I mean.
