Cattle egret in flight

Gorgeous in-flight photo, Steve.

Thanks Ron. I got a couple of photos of this bird. :)

Amazing photo of this egret. He's got the look of an eagle in those eyes

Thanks for your visits and valued comments, Steve.

Have a good day and a good weekend.

These were introduced to North America in the 1950's and have spread across the southern states but have not yet spread to Washington. We saw a lot of them when we lived in Texas and have seen them on our trips to the southwest.

Have a safe and profitable week.

Excellent capture Steve, pin sharp detail, great focus on the eyes.
Got up at 5 o clock this morning drove 30 miles to WWT Welney to see 300+ Whooper swans that had arrived recently. The centre was shut but I could see the swans from the car park. It was dry when I left but on arrival it was raining so hard I couldn't even get out of the car. The swans started to leave for the surrounding fields while I was still in the car. Going to try again Friday.

I don't know if you can on Friday Maurice, the lockdown will be starting on Thursday. My reserve is closing for the shutdown and so is the zoo. I will be setting up feeding stations in the local woods to try and stay photographing birds.
