 Little Egret

Egretta garzetta
Ardeidae


While some egrets forage in wetlands by using the patient stand-and-wait strategy, or slowly creeping up on their prey, the Little Egret is often far more active when it is in pursuit of food. Often not content to simply stand in the shallows, the Little Egret is regularly seen dashing about frenetically, jerkily lifting its feet high out of the water while darting in this direction and that in pursuit of fish or other aquatic animals, often with its wings raised and fluttered.

Always interesting to see the differences between your species and those of N.America.
