REDDISH EGRET (WHITE MORPH): A FISHY TALE…
And one with a happy ending! There’s something very satisfying about an expert birder / photographer’s capture of a perfect sequence, as these fantastic photos show. It not something I’ve ever achieved, not having the skill, the equipment or (probably) the patience required to get a sequence of perfect shots. Instead – and as a guest post while we are having some downtime somewhere nice – it’s a pleasure to feature this reddish egret stalking its prey, photographed by Danny Sauvageau. #4 has it all – drama, movement, clarity and triumph captured in a fraction of a second.

Truly impressive photo series from Mr. Sauvageau, love that little tail end in the last photo before the final swallow. Also impressive is identifying the white morph of a reddish egret. Lovely post, RH.

Thanks Jet, very true. It’s so great when photos come so right. Athena must feel that too! Funnily enough, I see as many whites on Abaco as conventionals. But that ‘two-tone’ beak is always a useful ID tool… RH
