Egrets

These images are from my first encounter with this egret. I didn't take the images from quite as low as my pelican shots, as I wanted to have more blue water as the background, rather than the far bank, which was quite bright in the late afternoon sun. Next time I will aim for the lower angle, as that is my preference.  I had a lovely time with this fellow. I spot metered on the white, hence the water is quite darker.
