Great Egret in flight

This Great Egret flew very close as we explored the wetlands of the Bueng Boraphet Non-hunting Area in a boat. That protected area is in Thailand’s Nakhon Sawan province. This image shows the gape extending beyond the eye, a feature that differentiates this species from the slightly smaller Medium Egret (Ardea intermedia).
