Season - 65 (Ardea intermedia)

The Season ... 65

Some more Himalayan
images to be posted
... but ... there are
many more of the
Season ... and ...

since the latter is
already closed ...
... or nearly so

most of them will
go at an
off-season price
... discounted
but valuable, still ...

Here's a lovely
courting pair of
Intermediate Egret

... with shiny coat
and flowing plumes ...
in the middle of
a heronry at Bharatpur ...
...
Their activity can be
watched in a small
video-clip ... that also
shows them arranging
branches of Acacia ... to
form a nest ...

Great detail, exposure, and poses, Alok. Not easy to get the exposure right with the limited dynamic range of a small sensor camera... a good result here though
 
Beautiful double capture Alok...Love that pretty eyeball, good work with the whites too mate!!!

They really are beautiful, aren't they Alok. Such delicate looking plumage.

A super picture you've taken of this couple - many thanks for showing them to us my friend.
