Little Egret

Little Egret
Spotted this beautiful bird perching in a tree above the Mill Pond at Langstone Harbour, Hampshire. This is a popular spot for Egrets, there is nearly always some there. You need a long lens though as they're some distance away. I took this at the very limit of my 100-400 zoom lens and still needed to crop the image.

They used to be rare in the UK, but not now. They're especially common near where I live. Glad you like it Jan.

I'm currently working my way through a book of Evening Standard Cryptic crosswords. I try to do two or three a week................makes my brain hurt sometime :-))

Man glaubt immer,mit einen Zoom kommt man nahe ran,aber dem ist nicht so,auch da muss man croppen,aber am Wichtigsten ist,das der Fokus sitzt und das ist dir toll gelungen lieber Keith,wunderscön von dir wieder fotografiert :))

You're quite right of course Güni............and I'm glad you approve of this one!

There are numerous Egrets, Heron and other bird that regularly visit this mill pond, but their roosts are just out of reach of my longest lens which is very frustrating. There is no way to get closer as it is a protected nature reserve.
