[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Observing in the lake,you see them,as the all herons,
waiting for in ecstasy in shallow waters the prey, they will rather seldom fly,when however they fly,I believe they are,splendid in their flight!

The Little Egret/Egretta garzetta Snow white
in the Greek lefkotsiknias means white tsiknias (tsiknias: in the local dialect the heron)

Is a small white heron 55-65 cm long with an 88-106 cm wingspan.
It weighs 350-550 grams. Its plumage is all white. It has long black legs with yellow feet
and a slim black bill.

Photographed in the lake Kerkini,in her north-eastern department
