Intermediate-Egret170121_A9526smsh

Intermediate egret at the Jerrabomberra wetlands today. There were three white-faced herons trying to share the same feeding ground, but the egret would have none of it, and spent as much time chasing the herons as it did feeding.

Since the wetlands have been "improved", i.e. made more people friendly, one has to be early and quick to get a few shots in before the binoculared mob arrive with their lists and loud voices.

Australian Capital Territory, January, 2017.
