Cattle Egret

Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis)

It's odd isn't it that in the past 15 years (yes, I came to birding relatively late in life) I have never been close enough to a Cattle Egret to get a decent photo. Then at the end of August two opportunities presented themselves completely out of the blue.

As you can see, the bird is as surprised to see me as I was to see it!

Not one of its family gave him the info that you want a capture. Surprise for both sides. LOL. A wonderful capture (and first time encounter) to upload. TFS !!
