I took these photos of 2 egrets in Hokkaido this morning.
The first 2 are of them together, the one to the left is the one I think may be a Swinhoes. The last 2 are crops from the same picture. The 3rd one is the one that may be Swinhoes, the 4th one is definitely a Little Egret I think.
I thought of Swinhoes because the bill seems lighter coloured and shorter, the legs and neck also seem shorter.
Or is just my imagination and is it just a Little Egret?
Any opinions gratefully received.
