this egret is not my friend

another shot during the salmon run last saturday. i saw it from afar and whilst walking towards it, i changed my lens to the 150mm. then i wished for it to fly so that i can get a shot of it. what do you know as soon as i mounted the bigger lens, and i was aiming the camera at it, IT FLEW off and all i got was the tip of its wing! darn!

perhaps it was simply camera shy which is the theme this week over at five plus two. check us out: https://365project.org/fiveplustwo/365/2021-10-20

They are such graceful, elegant looking birds.

I see nothing wrong with this one since you couldn’t catch him in flight! I feel your frustration though.
