Great Egret (top) - Intermediate Egret (left) - Little Egret (right) (Ardea alba, Ardea intermedia, Egretta garzetta)

No where as good of a shot as Delia's double Great & Little, but had to take up the challenge

The size and feet coloration are the keys as well as the visual observation before they flew.

OMG Owen... many thanks for the compliment!! Quite undeserved.

This is amazing getting these three in flight - an excellent job you've done lad.

Thanks for your comment on my picture too... as I said I don't see the egrets up here (except the odd one occasionally... actually one of each but at separate times).

... and I'd never seen an Intermediate till I visited Australia at the end of last year.

I wonder if I'll ever see a sight such as this over here LOL!!!
