Little Egret in Flight

Little Egret in Flight
Taken on the nature reserve at Langstone Harbour, during a walk last Tuesday morning.

In the PiP there is a shot of 10 other Little Egrets at the reserve. There are several collective nouns for Egrets, two of most common are a "Congregation" or a "Wedge". Personally, I like Wedge :-)

Thank you Rosa. I'm pleased you like it.

I think these may be the same egrets that roost at the millpond in Langstone Harbour. These were across the other side of the harbour and I think they must spend their days there.

I can remember when I was about 12 and my father took me to Langstone Harbour to see a Little Egret for the first time........it was a rare visitor then and there were literally hundreds of "twitchers" around over a period of a couple of weeks who had come to see it. Nowadays they're pretty common sight :-)

Thank you Amelia.............glad you think so. They can look a bit ungainly in flight ( but I think it's more the angle you catch them at).

Thanks for your comments Gudrun..........and I can see what you mean, but as I just said to Amelia, I think sometimes it's just the angle you catch them at). I'll have a look to see if I can find another shot.........I think I got several on the day.
