BLACK EGRET / GAMBIA

The black egret nicknamed the UMBRELLA heron! medium sized (66cm) crest on its head, favours shallow waters where prey get trapped in subsiding pools, the egret brings its wings forward, and tucks its head in, to form a complete canopy over its prey, its amazing to see, could watch them for hours, am low at its level to capture this.
