Description

Watching a Reddish Egret hunt is a sight to behold. The speed with which they move around, the agility in their body, the massive wingspan and so many different hunting techniques. Its like watching a graceful ballet dancer perform on water. Capturing that on camera however is not so easy. After several attempts, hours of lying down in the sand, many out of focus shots, many shots with the wings in shadow finally getting this capture was quite satisfying.
