We are at the time of year when the reeds and other grasses are at their highest. In some places this is over 10 – 12 feet tall. You cannot see in or over.
At times the birds are up and leaving in an instant. I never would have seen this Egret if he had stayed in the grass.
You captured the bird beautifully as it took off.
Thanks so much. Like most of us, we are our own worse critics 😀. As the heat and grasses grow here it’s becoming harder to get the shots. Everything is hiding in the shade after 11:00. Except the photographers of course.
