The adult Little Egret is 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. In the breeding season, the adult has two long nape plumes and gauzy plumes on the back and breast. The bare skin between the bill and eyes becomes red or blue. Juveniles are similar to non-breeding adults but have duller legs and feet. The subspecies garzetta has yellow feet and a bare patch of grey-green skin between the bill and eyes, whereas nigripes has yellow skin between the bill and eye and blackish feet.

Little Egrets are mostly silent but make various croaking and bubbling calls at their breeding colonies and produce a harsh alarm call when disturbed.

A great capture of a bird which is now getting quite common in the Southern part of the UK. Lovely composition in which the blue of the water really shows off the bird, which is crisp clear. Good POV. A very good image thanks for sharing. Regards Bill

Hi Vicma!

You present us a fine picture of the Little Egret in front of a beautiful and dynamic background. I like the bird's position and the airy feathers. The focus is at the right place and the lighting on the very white bird is good, too. The rest of the picture is, from my point of view, a little bit dark. Maybe it's the effect of the light measuring on the brightest part of the bird. I usually proceed the same way, but then brighten the dark tones in the postprocessing.

Kind regards

Markus

Hola Victor,
fascinatingly dynamic motion in this dramatic setting.
Fine details, subtle shades in the white feathers, but all over looking a little bit underexposed on my screen.
A great image, showing the egret peacefully fighting against the wind and the sea. Thank you!
With best regards,
Peter

Hi Vicma.
Truly art shot. It is simply terrific. Dark key of execution of the shot is great artistic decision. I welcome it so much. Reproduction of the bird and its feathers are fantastic. Exposure is spot on as well as all other components of the highest skill. Bravo.
Alexei.

Ciao Vicma, lovely egretta in great pose with splendid details and superb sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hola Víctor, pues todos bien por acá, espero que vosotros también.
Te cuesta publicar, pero cuando lo haces siempre nos sorprendes por h o por b . En esta ocasión otro precioso trabajo, con una cuidada luz y sobre todo me gusta el fondo a juego con el plumaje.

Buen fin de semana: Josep Ignasi.

Hola Victor,
What brilliant light and moment!!! .. love the blue palatte in the composition..it even seems to be bleaching the egret's white into a lovely white colour ..exposed well.The posture that you have frozen of the bird standing in the water is just wonderful.

Awesome PoV and DoF.I love those waves that are coming up.The bird looks so human..may be like an old man or woman standing with a hunch and lost in his/her own thoughts while the little waves caress his/her feet.The plumage blowing in the wind could be the flowing hair.The water effect is so much so that it i can feel the cool water at my feet.I feel the wind blowing around, i hear the waves as they come and i feel the light bathing the bird in a soft aura.Very much a mesmerising moment and you communicate the mood completely to the viewer.

It was a pleasure viewing this composition.And i would love to add this to my theme "Unforgettable Favourites".

Thanks for sharing
Best regards

Hola Victor.
Lo sobresaliente de esta bella imagen ha sido la iluminacion calida y suave que nos hace pensar que se logro por la tarde. La nitidez y el fondo de la imagen donde se aprecian las olas del mar le da un valor agregado.

Saludos mi querido Victor. Un abrazo y muchas gracias por tus cometarios en mi ultima foto.

Hi Vicma,

Hola Vicma.

Me gusta como ha quedado la garceta con su plumaje todo alborotado por el viento con un buen tono de blanco.

Saludos desde Coruña.
