On a recent trip to the rookery one some work was being done near a nesting area to remove some debris before the birds start their nests. A few Great Egrets treated us to an aerial show as they shifted around while work was in progress.
The flights provided a variety of shooting opportunities, with various wing poses and backgrounds as the circled around to return to their spots.
Coming in for a landing with a squawk:
I am amazed by the ability of these huge birds to navigate through branches.
A beautiful blue sky with fluffy clouds completes a classic flying shot.

Nice shooting!
It’s not easy to get the bird with all that backlighting sky.
Love your sequences, they tell an entire story!
Seek peace,

Thank you for the comments, Paz, and thanks for stopping by! Glad you enjoyed the series.
All wonderful. The second is my favourite, the egret so elegant in flight.
Thanks, Belinda! It’s always a little surprising to see them make graceful moves after you have really looked at their bodies.
