I put gumboots on and walked through the swamp to see what’s in the trees out in the middle. Hmm Egrets. Dunno if I will do it again though, the mosquitos are almost as big as the Egrets and much more plentiful too.
Robert, you belong to the top 10 of 'caedes photographers'
This is again an amazing shot!...unbeleaveble!!!!
Are you a professional photographer too?
My great compliments!
John
Fantastic work Robert! And well worth every single mossie attack! Well... from my point of view anyway. I've just done a few years in Oz and saw a lot more Ibis: far less photogenic. Ha! Thanks for sharing: Ricky.

Great egret shot! Most people don't realize HOW HARD it is to get a good shot of this bird. You've got perfect exposure, sharpness, and chose the right lighting to get the maximum feather details. Bravo!
sorry if i don't comment on each of your pictures. to those of you who comment so often, i can't imagine how you get it done! i for one am always extremely grateful for the kind comments and suggestions that you make.

I'm sorry you had to suffer those nasty bugs, but even being bitten you managed to take a top notch shot of this handsome Egret. Lovely details of this graceful stream lined fellow. Marvelous show of those wide spread wings - excellent clarity, and wonderful contrast between this Egret and the brillant blue sky! I agree with 'rozem061' above. Keep up the great work Robert :^>
The bird is so beautiful against this brilliant blue sky. A wonderful shot, Robert. And thanks for battling the bugs to bring us this one. It is definitely worth your effort!
You should pop over here for a break from the mozzies Robert, they have all frozen to death :)
What a perfect picture - for a reward like this I am sure you thought it worth the gummy trudge and the murderous mozzies.
A truly expert image - thank you :)
Think I'd risk the skeeters maybe even a hornets nest if I thought I could come home with a picture like this in my camera. Is to laugh ... I dream of hitting the Lottery as well ... LOL Just marvelous Robert ... U DA MAN !!!
It was well worth the effort though!...A fabulous take on the bird!...clarity is crystal pal!...
Good camera work too!
