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.

Exposure is good on this white bird. Nice shot.

Pretty shot. Is it the same as our Snowy Egret? Looks much the same.

Here is a shot of our snowy egret. Note the black bill and yellow feet (although I cut most of them off in this picture).

He looks remarkably similar, only difference I can see is the orange patch near his beak. If not the same, then a very close relative!

Nice capture, the Little Egret round this way is very skittish as well, awfully difficult to get the cmera raised before it's off.
