Yundang's Egrets

Here's the official bird of Xiamen, the Egret. This one was back and forth into the water swallowing down fish right in front of me. Lucky for my 50mm, cause I could only get within about 15ft before the bird was back diving or off to find another perch. When the lake is filled in the morning, the sea brings in all sorts of fish and the Egrets come by the dozens to get their shot at a full belly. There are usually a least a couple photographers with some serious equipment snapping away. Look for the Egret to reappear in Blipland sometime soon...
