These close to 10 meter high trees....

were where the Egrets fought for a sleeping place. There were four trees and every free spot was covered at night. One could not see any green at all. I tried to take a night shot but it did not work. It looked like Christmas trees covered in cotton wool.

Certainly a busy tree. Well caught :)

[Babs]

They are having quite a party.
The Little Corellas sit around in gangs just like this here in Australia.

[Sally Ings]

They do blend in with the tree making it appear decorated.

So from previous posts the Egret is quite a big bird. They look like a magpie nest we see in Aussie.

[Connie Little]

Looks like it would be the early bird gets the best perch.

[Denise Wood]

Terrific capture :)

[Valerie Chesney]

Wow, what a wonderful capture......they would weigh that tree down...

[Peter Day]

What a pity

[sally agnew]

Such a crisp clear shot :)

[Joan Robillard]

You probably need a tripod for the night shot and set it to a high iso. This shot works.

@rjb71 @onewing @salza @wenadee @littleconnie @gilbertwood @happysnaps @peterday @hermann @joansmor Thanks for the great coments, much appreciated. I wish I could have gotten a night shot!

[Diana]

@onewing These are like enemies in the evening Babs, fighting for a perch. Unfortunately they do a lot of damage.

[Diana]

@happysnaps Yes Valerie, they sure do a lot of damage.

[Diana]

@joansmor Thanks for the tip Joan, probably also a better camera :-)

[Lynda McG]

How unusual - they look so pretty like they've been placed as ornaments like you say Diane!

[Suzanne]

They should leave a towel on their spot :)

[KoalaGardens🐨]

not a room was left at the inn ... :)

[Diana]

@lyndamcg @suzanne234 @koalagardens Thanks for the kind comments, much appreciated.

[Poppo Livy]

You could rent them out as decorations for Christmas

[Carole Sandford]

They like ornaments on a Christmas tree!

[Diana]

@terryliv @carole_sandford You should see them at night! Unfortunately I do not have the skills or camera to capture this spectacular sight.
