Little Egret in Flight

wonderful so in flight

Thank you Annemarie.

Beautiful action shot Keith.

Thanks very much Jaap.

Beautifully captured Keith! The only time I have seen so many egrets, as in your PiP, was along the Helford River in Devon. I like Wedge as well!! Superb shots.

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 :-)

The egret is perfectly placed in the frame, Keith. I have to say they look more elegant on the ground. ;-)

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).

I concur with Amelia, the neck and feet look funny in flight;-) You caught them perfectly.
Egrets are rarely seen where I live but we have lots of herons and anglers aren't too pleased about that.

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.

Always love to see Egrets Keith. I see very few up here so its nice to see yours. Very well captured as per normal from you. The PiP compliments it nicely too.

Regards. Herb

Thank you so much Herb............glad you enjoyed these two shots.

Fantastic Little Egret in-flight capture Keith and the group is good to see, although they really have become common down south these days,
They are quite sleek when in flight, as this image shows.
Have a good weekend !

Da hast du tolle Aufnahmen gemacht von diesen Vögeln lieber Keith,besonders deine Flugaufnahme ist dir toll gelungen,da hab ich noch meine Schwäche mit den Mitzieher,was das betrifft,aber so oft kann es bei mir nicht machen,bei mir sind die Vögel mehr am Boden,hahahaha :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Tag,liebe Grüße Güni :))
