Little Egret fishing

Watched this little egret fish for a while quite close by.It was successful on several occasions but I quite liked this where it stood still for minutes on end awaiting its prey getting close.

I may remove the reed under its head but this was the way I caught it so it will stay for now.

Class shot, Mark. Great pose and POV.

Thanks Fergie. Would have liked a bit more room but some OOF reeds put a stop to that.

Nice capture that one Mark, looks like it's about to pounce.

There seems to be a bit of a magenta colour cast though as the egret appears to be a bit pinkish, that said it's on my laptop and the colour changes with the angle of my screen so I might be talking a load of carp.
