From Antigua again, this was taken just before the Egret launched his neck down to the ground and had a gecko for lunch. I always find it amazing how they flex their neck like this, I spent a good 10 minutes watching this guy by the side of the road :D

Thanks for looking.

Great detail for the whites, and nice standout against the background. Good shot! Beautiful bird!
