Getting closer

I'm hopeless at bird photography. I suppose I don't invest the time into sitting in a good spot, swathed in camoflage nor can I afford an 800mm f2.8 jobbie even if I had the strength to carry it around.

I was particularly pleased therefore when this juvenile Little Egret came close enough for me to get a good record shot of it. The adults have black beaks and black legs, by the way.

For all their beautiful plumage and graceful flight, Little Egrets aren't melodic song birds: krrraaaaak!!
