Have a few 'dancing egret' shots in my files and they always make me smile and look at them a little longer than other frames when I look at old stuff. This gives me a similar feeling, I love the post, and the open bill is a nice extra touch. Variation in the sky background is a plus

Ditto Mr. Poole. In addition, I love the green lores and the clouds. What date?

The clouds add so much! Excellent pose and the translucence to the wing feathers.

Hi Artie, thank you for viewing and commenting. March 1st this year.

A fun image, the exposure colours and pose with the identifying features all make for a great shot, I really like it.
