Little Egret (Egretta garzetta)

En. Little Egret, Da. Silkehejre, Du. Kleine Zilverreiger, Fi. Silkkihaikara, Fr. Aigrette garzette, Ge. Seidenreiher, It. Garzetta, No. Silkehegre, Sp. Garceta comün, Sw. Silkeshäger

The Little Egret is more delicate-looking than any other heron-like bird which occurs in Britain. It 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.

Bella presa al volo. Ottimi colori del cielo e bilanciamento del bianco.
Un giorno ci dirai dove fotografi le garzette a Eraclea???????????????

Absolutely stunning, Angelo.
First of all the POV from above is unusual.
The focus is amazing on this in-flight shot.
Exposure on the difficult white bird is perfect.
Congratulations on a masterpiece.
TFS. : )

Hi Angelo,
Greatly capturing this flying white egret. Well composed. Superb shot.

bella foto...ma c'è il trucco.Ci vuole chi guida la macchina :-)

ciao

Perfect focus, perfectly "frozen" and perfectly exposed. Excellent flight portrait of this species, and technically difficult to get everything precisely right. Well done!
regards, Nigel.

Hi Angelo,
Good picture of this Egret. They are not easy to approach and the white feathers are not easy to render on a photo. Good composition.
Regards, Francois

Bella foto Angelo. Il posto ormai lo conosco!
Una cosa non capisco: le sfumature dei toni sul dorso dell'ala; sembrano variare dal bianco al grigio chiaro non ben sfumati. Come ci fossero dei gradini.
Comunque la Garzetta resta per me una preda difficilissima per l'esposizione, anche se a posteriori si può correggere (ma non troppo).

Grazie, ciao

Ciao Angelo
stupendi i dettagli del piumaggio, frutto si un'ottima esposizione dei difficili bianchi.
Bello scatto: complimenti !

Ciao,
silvio

Hi Angelo,
This is a very nice inf light. Love the contrast of the white against the blue sky. You have handled exposure very well with good detail captured in the feathers. This is an image that I'd like to make some day.
