Little Egret
While there have been a few Great White Egrets around locally recently (that I have failed to see) you can pretty much guarantee seeing the smaller Little Egret on the coast and even some reservoirs and lakes. On the Wirral coast I came across quite a few. Some were quite obliging too and flew and landed close by, just as this particular individual.
Hello! So great photos! The photo where the Little Egret is with the Black-headed gull is a good for comparison. I didn’t know that the Little Egret is so little.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!

The little egret is absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDelete...that first image is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is beautiful...love the pose with his foot up! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI still amazes me that the Little Egret outnumbers the once common Grey Heron by a factor of 10-20/1, depending upon the time of year. Yet seemingly both occupy the same niche?
ReplyDeleteYou can really see its size with the gull as a comparison!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. I like how you captured the waves of the water as well as the birds. Hope you are having a great Saturday.
ReplyDeleteNice! Egrets are so elegant!
ReplyDeleteIt's great when birds cooperate and allow us to photograph them. Love the egrets Adam!
ReplyDeleteSharing this with us at I'd Rather B Birdin is appreciated...thanks!
I love these birds but they are rare in Sweden. Great shots of the beauties :)

ReplyDeleteI have seen a few of these birds in our area. I wonder if they are part of the migratory flock and have decided to stay behind.

ReplyDeleteI am surprized we didn't see any last trip to Florida. They are such pretty birds.

ReplyDeleteUsually, I never comment on blogs but your article is so convincing that I never stop myself to say something about it. You’re doing a great job Man. Best article I have ever read
ReplyDeleteKeep it up!
Such pretty birds, and you got great photos of them.
ReplyDeleteI love shore birds..Michelle
ReplyDeleteI always like to see them (seemingly) shaking the water off their foot, like in the first picture. We see egrets here in Oregon and in Florida (but three different kinds there and only the little one here). i never tire of them.
