white egret

[rick93]

Hey all,

I haven't posted on here for a while.
Here is a shot that I took a while back. Pretty much have been too busy for fun stuff like photographing.
Here they call this bird the angelbird, as they are always folowing the cows, so in their eyes the cow's guard-angels.
Taken with my Canon 450D + Tamron SP 70-300 VC @ 1-400 sec, f/9.0, ISO 800, and focal lenght at 300 mm.

Thanks for looking + C&C is appreciated>

I believe that they are also known as Cattle Egrets, because they do "follow the cattle" and in some parts of Africa, they also follow the Cape Buffalo. This one is exhibiting its non-breeding plumage. I like the fact that the one in focus and the one out of focus are both facing the same way, sort of like having a "ghostly presence" in the background.

Almost like there's a reflection, I like it!
