Spotted my first great white egret (well at least I think it is!) along the Mawddach Estuary in Wales today. Since I had my dog with me I only had the 70-350 attached to my R4 as I can comfortably attach this to my Peak Design Clip, no chance of doing that with the 200-600! There are not too many of these birds in the UK so gutted I didn't have the 200-600 but still happy to get a shot in, although heavily cropped to 1000px here.

My Penguin book of birds says that is a Duck! ;)

Made a similar walk today and spotted him again, a little bit closer this time as well so only cropped to 2048px here :)

Very nice Tim. We get them nearby quite often, but always at distance too.

Much better Tim. Like that.
Cheers! A little bit closer and some nicer light helped me out a little here. Still wish I’d had the 200-600 with me!

Thanks Kev. First one I've seen, I'll probably see them everywhere now! :)

You don't really need to look into his soul!
Lol. That is true, it's nice to include some of the environment as well.
 
It was a very gloomy day when I captured this image.
