    Very neat image. I do wish the egret in front were a bit more in focus.

    I think 5 but there may be 6. Beautiful scene all around!
    The viewfinder is my guidance.

    I know for sure there are ten birds in this image :-) I love the gradiant from red to yellow in the water!

    wow! This has to be one of my favourite bird images I've seen for a while! Just amazing colour! I would be tempted to have two copies of this image. One as it is now, and one with the three closest birds removed (but the same crop)... Just a thought! :)

    As for the species - I think I see 1 Wood Stork, 2 White Ibis, 3 Snowy Egrets, and 4 Great Egrets...

    Im not sure though! Im worried the 2 birds I think are White Ibis might just be Snowies, and that some of those Great Egrets might be Great White Herons....

    Anyways! Stunning capture :)

    Fabs,
    Nice arrangement and colours. I agree with Taylor regarding the focus on the front bird. But this is all about colours.

    Cheers,
