    The next day we headed to the Sandy Camp Road Wetlands again and, as before, stopped off at Lindum Park Wetlands, though a different part of it. Negotiating a fence and steep bank (these long-legged guys have no consideration for little old ladies LOL). Far more water here and at the top of a...

    Great or Intermediate Egret? (Singapore)

    Hi everyone! I've been googling quite a bit on how to differentiate between the Great and Intermediate Egret, but I'm still quite stumped looking through my photos. I have 4 sets of photos here (different birds, although bird 2 might be the same as bird 3 or 4). The gape doesn't seem to...

    Middle for diddle

    An Intermediate Egret was the next to take my attention. I still had to study these carefully to be able to tell the difference between them and the Great ones.

    Trying to look bigger

    I wonder if the Intermediate Egrets feel inadequate when comparing themselves with their larger cousins LOL. They can look large when their necks are fully extended like this. He was on the same bank as the Magpie Geese, with a partially hidden Glossy Egret, so that patch of greenery seemed...

    Middle White

    .... but not a porker LOL. This rather beautiful Intermediate Egret was in the same tree as the cormorant on my previous post. They were rather close to power lines crossing the site, and I was very sad to see a few corpses underneath them. There were no coloured discs on the lines, like I...

    .... but at the upper end. Bigger than little but smaller than great. Ken pointed out an Intermediate Egret on the far side of one of the lakes. I still struggled with identifying these with certainty right to the end of my trip. He told me the features to look for - rounder head and shorter...
