Little Egret-1(juvenile)

So pleased when I spotted this bird in the estuary of the River Ems,at Emsworth.The tide was out so it was wading about in the mud.Living inland ,I'd never seen a Little Egret previously.Couldn't decide which shot to post,so I've posted one on my other album,too.Many thanks for all your comments,always much appreciated.Still catching up on commenting.
