The Great Egret was much too close. I tried a few quick angles with the camera, but my minimum zoom was 150mm.
I could only get part of the bird in the view finder so I opted for the top half.
I just wandered into him and I guess the Egret felt ‘hidden’ and secure in the thick reeds and grass.
Obviously he didn’t see it from my point of view.
Wow! Great moment and great shots!
Thanks. While pretty close, at least he gave me plenty of time.
