Another one to add to the egret post :)
Took these from a local park. This is the season they're coming out to play.

Thanks for the comments. It's such a lovely bird.

On #4, I was lying down on a slope shooting up and he walked right infront of me, even my 300 is too close. :)

Thanks, a couple more of BIF. One thing I found out that its large size really helps with focusing with they are inflight.

Great series and good job of keeping the whites so well exposed.

Thanks Scott, I found that it's really challenging especially when it moves from dark to light area. I got some fairshots of blow hightlight :D
