Very low flying Egret.

[Stu Bowie]

The Egrets were coming and going fetching nesting material. They would take off from a tree, and swoop low down over the water on their way to fetch what ever they needed. This Egret is showing off the breeding colours. Taken early morning.

Nice capture Stuart,sharp with nice detail,like how the wing dips in the water,like it is testing how warm it is:S3:.TFS.

Great capture Stuart. Whites look lovely and the head details are nice and sharp Well done

Lovely warm image and super details on the whites! The bright red eye and beak are tack sharp and the feathertips in the water make it even better

Hi Stu - beautiful warm light and I really like the skimming the water feel to it. Nice and sharp with great colors too. I really like the 300 and 2x III combo.
