The white egret (Egretta alba) is much quieter than its relative Egret (Egretta garzetta) when catching its prey. He spends a long time lurking, motionless until he hurls a quick peck. The dams he gets are sometimes good-sized fish.

I wanted to get this species in flight, because in my area they are very elusive.

 

La garza blanca (Egretta alba) es mucho más tranquila que su pariente la garceta (Egretta garzetta) a la hora de atrapar a sus presas. Se pasa largo tiempo al acecho, inmóvil hasta lanzar un rápido picotazo. Las presas que consigue son peces a veces de buen tamaño.

Tenía ganas de sacar a esta especie en vuelo, porque en mi zona son muy esquivas.
