A Day of Great White Egrets at Lodmoor Reserve


Five Great White Egrets descended on the Lodmoor Reserve while I was there.
They settled on a bank which was some way away from my position, it was difficult to get the five in the shot. In the middle of the shot, not to be left out, was one of the resident Little Egrets.


Eventually the Great Whites dispersed around the Reserve.
