Great egret

I went to the Hunter Wetlands Centre today and saw some lovely water birds

flying

several were perched in the tree tops around a pond

head up for landing

take off

a big chunk of nesting material

it flew so close I couldn't fit it the whole bird in

Great series. Although you couldn't fit the bird in the last shot (don't you hate it when that happens!) I love the sunlit feathers. It really shows off the exact positioning of every feather.

Cheers, Owen.

Stunning stuff! Some of these shots would make great stimulus for drawing.

Gorgeous photos. I love white on blue.

I'm only new in here and I'm feeling very inspired to get my camera out and go for a walk around my little town.
