doesn't seem to be a review to test before it goes to the forum; it's my last ditch chance to get the photo across in the right protocol.

Whoops, did not see this thread. My bad.
Looks like a cattle egret :) You can see hints of its breeding plumage - the golden mane of feathers on its head :D

thanks Araminta too. Amazing how they tuck their neck in like that; that's what threw me out, I didn't think there was one.

Yeah! I love how they coil their neck like that, like a snake. Otherwise they'll be needing a very long scarf to keep it warm haha
