Little and large of course
On the opposite bank were two egrets, Great and Little standing together.

I don't know how common a sight this is, as I don't see either of these here in Scotland very often.

A brilliant find and capture you have of this pair of Egrets Delia. A wonderful detailed close up, well done.
 
They could star in a Persil advertisement, D. -- Whiter than White!
Please forgive me if I say that this photograph's a clean winner (ouch!).
Such a fresh shot with the green and whites combining well.
Lovely.
 
You have a masterpiece there, Delia. The little egret is prettier even though the great one is trying to get all the photo time.
