How impressive is that!

I've never seen a great egret. Are they found in the northern hemisphere too?

We see a few of them, and yes, they are in the northern hemisphere.

Here's what I found "A large white heron, the Great Egret is found across much of the world, from southern Canada southward to Argentina, and in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia."

Cheers

What a fantastic photo. The colours are vibrant and the framing just perfect. I like the movement and the reflection in it too.

I'm sorry I can't come on a daily basis but visiting your blog is a delight every time. It just feels I'm on the sunshine coast again. The Esplanade shot is so typical!

Interesting how he is cut off at the knees - if egret had knees!

This is lovely with all the fingers of blue ...
