Reach For The Sky

Having parked the car on a causeway over the River Ilen near to Baltimore I scanned the mudflats. I realised that the rapidly rising tide was covering the mudflats and that the waders were starting to leave. Fortunately they were flying downstream towards the open sea and were passing directly over the causeway. What a great opportunity. Within about an hour I had captured dozens of flight shots. Check out my website on the following link to see more flight shots of this Little Egret:

Nice one! I am still trying to get myself any sort of flight shot of a Little Egret and would be happy with one half as good as this!
