I photographed the same Cattle Egret that featured in my previous take.
For this shot it moved obligingly closer to the perimeter fence of the Swiss ProNatura exclusion zone.
Your crits. and nits are most welcome

David, I really like this image, and the pose and details are great.

Excellent detail in the plumage and a great pose, David. The very subtle coloration in the plumage (blues and pinks) are something I've never noticed before. A bit more room at the bottom for the hidden foot might be nice.

I had to laugh when I saw the cattle Egret on top of the cows image that I believe you posted. I had never seen that before. I too noticed the subtle colorations in the plumage. Great detail in the whites. I know this is really hard to do.
