If you are not fully ready a Great Egret can be in the air, and gone, faster than you would think. This was one of those times.
I knew he was there since I was waiting for him to reach out for a fish. I waited, and waited. So of course he did get one the minute I lowered my lens.
If you look close he has it in his bill, but it’s real small.
Pretty wing span here.
Specs; OM-1 mk2, OM 100-400, Lightroom, Topaz.
Yes, gorgeous wingspan and lighting. I also love those blond grass stands in the water – really great background.
The grass has the look of fall there. The hot wether and lack of rain.
These are fantastic Ted.
Thanks. No time for much more than these. Later on I found him (or a friend) again so not all was lost.
