Egret

[wigz]

Another one from yesterday. Intermediate Egret, I think, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

#1 An odd pose as it prepares to take off. Some of the whites still look a bit grey.


#2


#3


All with Nikon D800 and Sigma 120-300 f/2.8 + 1.4x TC

nice series of this guy taking off. got the light where you want too. 3rd image is the most appealing to me. good work

Thanks Stephen. One of only a couple that went the right way. I missed a Magpie Goose that flew past in the same direction, but nearer to me, while I was trying to work out my my lens stopped focusing. I thought it had broken but turned out I had somehow bumped the switch on the lens to MF.

that will do it. MF can be a MF......... if it happens to you
