  3. What beauty captured in these images, the last one, wow I bet my husby could do a watercolour that would not even match up to that beauty~

  5. Lovely! We used to live on a road called Egret Court but it didn't have any egrets that we saw, only great blue herons. Of course, they are magnificent too.

  6. That would have caused a bit of twitch the last time I lived anywhere near Leighton Moss.

    Hope to be able to pay a visit in July - where I will (as ever) dip out on the Bearded Tits!

  8. I can remember when Little Egrets in Lancashire were scarce enough to twitch. I even went to Freckleton in the mid 80's just to see one........

  9. Beauty shots Dave! I love the way you captured the detail of the "fluff" of feathers on it's back, and the reflections are terrific.

  13. Wonderful captures! Can't help but think those fluffy brilliant white feathers look like a fine mink coat. :)
    The second reflection is my favorite.
    Have a great week Dave!

  14. Great photos of the Little Egret. I like the way it is all fluffed up against the cold - and showing its beautiful plumes.
    I like your header photo - it looks like a fascinating environment out there and must look very different with the tide all in.
