Spotted this beautiful bird perching in a tree above the Mill Pond at Langstone Harbour, Hampshire. This is a popular spot for Egrets, there is nearly always some there. You need a long lens though as they're some distance away. I took this at the very limit of my 100-400 zoom lens and still needed to crop the image.

Taken on the nature reserve at Langstone Harbour, during a walk last Tuesday morning. In the PiP there is a shot of 10 other Little Egrets at the reserve. There are several collective nouns for Egrets, two of most common are a "Congregation" or a "Wedge". Personally, I like Wedge :-)

Two images from me today, taken yesterday afternoon during one of my "mystery tours" along the shores of Chichester Harbour, West Sussex.

If you view this large and look closely you can see that the Egret has plucked a dragonfly out of mid-air! I have a couple more shots of this lovely bird which I'll post in a day or so.

Taken on the Mill Pond at Langstone Harbour, Hampshire. I normally see these roosting in the lower branches of some trees at the rear of the pond. On this day it was bitterly cold and very windy and they have moved to another section of the pond to take cover behind some foliage, which also enabled me to get a bit closer to them. Even with the 400mm reach of my lens, this is still cropped a little. There's a cropped image of another bird in the PiP. Please view large on black. Thank you.

Captured flying over the Mill Pond at Langstone Harbour, Hampshire. Unfortunately, I only had a 12-100mm zoom lens on my camera, so this is a huge crop!
