Caught this Egret and GBH have a little conflict yesterday morning. Unfortunately, I had just switched from the Bigma to the 24-105 so they're a little distant, but I think you'll get the idea.

Dum Dee Dum Dee Dum, just minding my own business....

I have a few more, but it ended with the Egret settling back down where he was originally.

Notice the ducks just kind of ignoring the two big boys?

The odd thing about this shot is that Egrets are pretty much long gone from here for the season (except this guy apparently!)

There is just room for one big guy and that's me says the Egret.
Good story with plenty of action.
