Little Egrets Mating

DOTTYROSS · 13 Apr 2011

One of a set from yesterday taken with Canon f/2.8 70-200mm. Had a terrible time coping with the whites in the bright sunshine, so much so that I thought I was going to miss the shot.

Excellent capture, though I have to wonder why they pick a branch I'm sure they'd find it easier on the ground :LOL:

Of course! Silly me. :bang::bang: :LOL:

Thanks for the link, Rich - I had no idea ringing was such a highly organised and (rightly) regulated activity.
