Snowy egrets - yellow feet with dark legs. Well captured as they are difficult birds to expose for. TFS

Very nice, I like them a lot, especially the 1st with the multiple birds.

Thanks, as you probably guessed bird ID isn't my strong point. I tried to match the birds I photographed with an info board the reserve put up with various birds on it.

Nice shots all round, but I think you excelled on the Egret shots.
