Photogenic Egret

One of my favourite images of the Little Egret is that of its milky white plumage against the copper red of the river water, not easy to capture simply because of the bird's ultra sensitivity to human presence.  On this occasion, the thick bushes and shrubs did provide the needed camouflage.  However, these bushes were cleared the very next day (new 'broom' contractor 'sweeps' cleanest I suppose!) so it would be pretty difficult now to approach any winged ones for close shots, at least presently until the bushes grow again, in this part of the river.
