Little Egret #2 Lift Off

ISO400, 1/1600 @ f8, no comp.
C1 v4 + resize & sharpen CS3.

Hi,

Second Little Egret image, caught me by surprise, every now and then every bird in the area would take to the air... couldn't swing the 400 round any more and the next couple of frames show less and less of the bird as it disappeared out of frame....

All the best

Phil

Lovely one Phil. We have lots of these around the Norfolk coast but getting near enough to them is proving very difficult.
