The Little Egret are quite small birds and the fish in th last shot is probably around 3 inches long to give some scale. The Little Egret gain the longer feathers during the summer. We get the occasional Great White Egret here which are impressively large birds.<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/><BR/>RichRich Steelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09846230546168826347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27894937.post-62896937039340221582008-07-02T14:58:00.000+01:002008-07-02T14:58:00.000+01:00Very nice to see the little egret up close.

Looks very much like our Snowy Egret, but seems to be a little larger, and other than the Snowy has the breast feathers that we are used to from the Great Blue Heron. Coloration around the bill is different, too (maybe). Snowy is yellow, turns pale red only during breeding season.<BR/>Thanks!<BR/>Cheers, Klauskjpwebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08943083978093494506noreply@blogger.com
