Median egrets

Another image from my recent India trip - this time at the Cauvery river near Tiruchirapalli in S India. These median egrets - also known as smaller egrets - were preening themselves in the evening light. They are in their breeding plumage as seen by the plumes on their breast and back. I was able to get a few shots before they flew off and liked this one for the separation between each egret.

1D3/600+1.4x, ISO640, F8@1/1600s, -2/3Ev.

Thanks for looking. :wavey:
