Birds Little Egret on Christmas day

Unbelievably cold in the hide, not much about, but a most cooperative little Egret.

Dave nice shot and do I assume from the metadata you have the 600 f4 lens now?

Not yet, still 200 - 600. There's a second hand one on ebay, too expensive though. I'll keep looking.

Thanks.

Strange metadata readout then, anyway nice shot

I had plans to go take some photos on Christmas Day, but we got long periods of rain interspersed with brief periods of 100% overcast misery. First time in several years I haven't been out taking photos on Christmas Day.

Nice shot!

Be interested to compare that Egret shot with a 600f4 lens shot . I noticed that this lens is still a ridiculous price , certainly unaffordable to me even second hand .

Beautiful shot. Those feather... those white feathers!
