The One And Only Great Egret of Finland - ever...

This poor fellow has came here in the middle of winter, first time ever, I guess. Seems that he has found a splendid fishing place, the best little river and bird wildlife lake in the middle of Tampere at Iidesjärvi. 
 
There he stood. In +2c river, fishing (gaught 6-7 fish in the 20minutes I stayed there watching him). He has been living here for a week now...

...A Great Egret is distributed across most of the tropic and warm temperated regions of the world, and in southern Europe it is rather localized. Never seen in Finland before. Local "Birdlife Finland" people are very intersted in this occasion.

I found him during my walk in the evening. Here is some shots of my two hour walk - and you really can see the conditions where the bird here is. Plenty of ducks there on the river with him...  And at the same time you can enjoy winterish Tampere by night.

Thank you for the stars - and hearts even - so kind of you. And nice chatting too - nice to have you around!
