It was a rare occasion for the Little Egret to stray so far inland from its usual hunting ground along the river, perhaps the park was absolutely quiet that morning with only this one lone soul wandering around.
Knowing how super alert it could be, I had to keep a fine distance.
And it looked like success upon success, tiny may be its catch.
Surely not the water lily, dear!
Fortunately remaining stationary, I managed to avert its apprehension, or was it hunger that prevailed and it moved on, for another catch.
And it's a winged prey this time, a dragonfly, in its diet that's mainly fish but can also include amphibians, small reptiles, crustaceans, insects and worms.
I shared in another of its success before I decided to leave it alone.
