Reddish Egret

During my Florida trip, the Reddish Egret was one of the new species for me. Of course, not as spectacular as when in breeding plumage, I was happy nevertheless being able to make some shots.

Nikon D500 with 500mm | 1/2000s | f5 | ISO250 | handheld

Thanks for viewing and have a wonderful weekend,

Greetings, Hans

Hans, this is outstanding. The Reddish are among my favorite waders. The calm conditions and lighting are superb. Print it BIG!

Gorgeous shot, Hans. I don't think I have seen or taken a shot of the Reddish Egret, so I can understand the excitement. Nicely capture in some sweet light.

Love the way the egret stands out in this. The reflection also adds a lot. Well done.
