Little Egret
Egretta garzetta
TR: Küçük akbalıkçıl

A little egret in the breeding plumage...

*The Little Egret is much smaller than a Grey Heron, with snowy white plumage, a long pointed black bill and black legs with strikingly yellow feet.

Feeds by the edges of lakes, reservoirs, rivers, brackish lagoons and saltpans. Breeds in waterside trees and bushes.

A widespread waterbird in southern Europe, especially in coastal areas. Colonies can be observed at Lake Manyas (Turkey), Acebuche on the Coto Donana (Spain), La Noria on the Ebro Delta (Spain) and Castro Marim (Portugal) for example.

The European population consists of about 30,000 pairs. Russian population 4500-6000
Turkish population 5000-10000

Hi Selen,

Elegant is certainly the right word for this Egret. You froze him in a magnificent position showing off those beautiful wings. Colors are wonderful - the greys and whites are perfect. Fine details of the face, wings, legs and feet. Beautiful composition with the nice sky for a background.

Hi Selen. I think the name fits the picture in this one so well. Your timing is spot on to have captured such a fine shot with the wings open and coming in to land. You have done well with the white feathers .TFS.

Mehaba Selen,
Beautiful capture with sharp details and great DOF - these are facts. But I would like to add that in this picture it is easy to find something more that very good technique: it is grace and beauty of flying bird, not easy to keep on the photo :)

Hi Selen,
Outstanding shot of this beautiful Little Egret in flight stretching out it wings. Very elegant indeed. Immaculate sharpness and details and perfect exposed white plumage in bright sunlight. Very skillful work too. The ble sky acts as a fantastic BG which highlights the subjects superbly. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.

Hello Selen,
This Little Egret looks gorgeous as it is coming in to land. Wonderful light and colours. Perfect timing and well focussed.
TFS and regards, Ulla

Merhaba Selen,

yes it really elegance, I don't know whether it intend to landing or just take off, but the moment you made this picture is really punctual, altough the Egret color is consider simply white but the shadow effect make it really artistic, nice detailed, and deep of focus, thanks for the brief notes

cheers

Selen,
As if you asked this egret to fly and then stop for you to take a photo. Wow, perfect timing. Technically all is great, nothing to critque. Love it.
