2 days ago got reasonably close, i.e. closer than usual, to the normally very shy and retiring Little Egret who darts off as soon as anyone appears on his radar.
This is a crop, 500D, 100-400 L, ISO 800.

artyman Sleepless in Hampshire More info | Oct 29, 2009 11:10 | #9 Nice capture, the Little Egret round this way is very skittish as well, awfully difficult to get the cmera raised before it's off. Art that takes you there. http://www.artyman.co.uk
