one of my favourite birds :) Found this one this morning and spend 15 minutes or so with it. Didn't seem too worried about my presence as it was furiously hunting for food (without success). This appears slightly hot in the whites but nothing has been blown

I'm very jelous of this shot, I can never get close enough to the egrets for a good size in the frame.
I particulary like the purposeful look in its eye.

Kevin,
This is a great shot. I like the sense of movement from the water droplets.
I agree the whites look fine.

Hi Kevin
Nice shot and a great job on the whites - you should have had another pop at the Bittern you might have brought us some luck!

I did have a wander looking for the Bittern but no sign of it whilst I was there. From other reports it hasn't been seen after that one sighting on the Saturday. The Slimbridge Bittern is still being seen daily so that would be the hot spot at the moment
