Plumes (Egretta garzetta nigripes)

On the far side of the river scrambling around the rocks was a Little Egret showing off his long breeding plumes.

You know, I've never seen a Little Egret in the summer plumage at home! That might sound surprising to some, but they've really not colonised Scotland as yet.

This Little Egret in his white suit is
the double of John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, D.
I bet John Travolta can't catch fish like him, though. A brilliant shot. He's shining.

A good natural image of this handsome looking bird Delia, feathers are looking a little wind-swept! t.f.s.
