Great Egret Portrait

06-10-2022, 08:01 AM

I came across this egret stalking prey on the shoreline. It didn't seem bothered by my presence and I couldn't fit the whole bird in the frame with the 500mm lens. This has been cropped a little from the full frame.

Nikon D800, Nikkor 50mm PF /5.6. 1/2000 f/5.6 ISO 320

Great shot. Lots of detail in the feathers.

Thanks Stephen. I was surprised how close it let me get. I suspect it’s the same bird I’ve seen here before.
