Little Egret
Little Egret / egretta garzetta. 23/08/19.
'BEAK THAT PACKS A PUNCH.' (8) Little Egret.
In hunched, contemplative mood after just flying in. The spats with others of it's kind hadn't started yet that day.
This view of the Little Egret shows it's robust, dagger-like beak very clearly. As a small fish or frog, you wouldn't want that suddenly stabbing towards you ... it would be the last thing you ever saw for sure !
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
