Preening Egret.

Something from the archives as I haven't done any coastal birding recently.
Little Egret ( Egretta garzetta) digiscoped at Cley Marshes in Nov 2008 using my pocket  Samsung S1030 (which died recently...probably through misuse and will apparently cost more to repair than it is worth!) and Swarovski 80HD.....FAB.

    Super shot!! LOVE the focus on the eye and the feather detail .... and that one lone feather all by itself in the water to the right. Fabulous capture!

    Thanks Kerri. Possibly one of my better compositions but the subject made life easy for me.

    Superb shot Frank. Agree with Kerri, that lone feather on the water is a perfect balance.
