Shooting with the low tide I find to be both good and bad. The birds are hunting, and many more of them. Yet you need to be very aware of the surroundings. Mud and glare can ruin a perfectly good opportunity.
Here I waited for the bird to walk into the shade, and it actually worked.

Purely beautiful, Ted. I love the colours and the reflection of the Great Egret and the vegetation in the water.
Thank you. The perfect location for shots like that.
