An intermediate slide, put aside at the time but makes for an interesting abstract! A view of the Oculus in New York City not often seen! All the best and have a great Sunday!

 

Happy Slider Sunday, HSS!

Moggill Wetlands, Queensland, Australia

Always such a photogenic bird - this was taken at the end of the day when the light picked out this white Intermediate Egret against the dark background

 

With the wind ruffling the feathers - this one is in full breeding colours and plumage.

The Intermediate Egret is similar to Australia’s other all-white egrets. The Little Egret is distinguished by its long, black bill. The Great Egret is distinguished by its proportionally longer neck and flat-headed appearance and has a distinct gape that extends well behind the eye. Cattle Egrets are much shorter and dumpier with a stouter bill.

An Intermediate Egret coming in to land against a stiff breeze. The wetlands had begun to dry up since the start of the harsh summer. I guess this place will be quite dry now. No way to check due to the lockdown. These egrets are much smaller then the Great Egret and closer in size to the Little Egrets. It is a resident breeder from east Africa across the Indian subcontinent to Southeast Asia and Australia.

Always a photogenic bird - this was taken at the end of the day - fortunately with sunlight to pick out this White Intermediate Egret in full breeding colours and plumage from the dark background

Gold Coast, Australia-1801

281, with a freshly painted CSX MAC rebuild on point, flies past the one correct-facing intermediate searchlight at milepost 38.6, in Gurnee, IL.

 

This thing is surprisingly accessible for how unknown it is (not that I’m complaining, of course!)

I've had to put my lens into hospital :( hoping it will be OK.

 

The intermediate egret stalks its prey methodically in shallow coastal or fresh water, including flooded fields. It eats fish, frogs, crustaceans and insects. It often nests in colonies with other herons, usually on platforms of sticks in trees or shrubs. Two to five eggs are laid, the clutch size varying with region.

The Intermediate Egret has similar features with the Great Egret. They differ though as follows:

a. The Intermediate Egret is smaller than the Great Egret.

b. The gape underneath the eyes end at the rear of the eyes.

c. Does not have the large kink in the throat of the Great Egret.

Intermediate by name this species is half way in size between a Little Egret and the Great White. Taken in isolation when no size comparison is possible it can be separated by the lack of head plumes (Little) and the shorter neck (very long in Great White). The clincher is in the gape which extends well past the eye in the Great White. This one was easy as it is in breeding condition with the orange bill and greenish facial skin

MY VISIT TO KOLKATA ZOO - 17 [ This series is dedicated to my elder brother HGM ]

 

PLEASE VIEW AT MAXIMUM TO GET MAXIMUM OUT OF IT

 

This is the image of a series called " MY VISIT TO KOLKATA ZOO ". This zoo is very unfriendly for the Photographers. Most of the animals and birds are kept in thick netting [sometimes multiple] with iron bars and Railings to keep the on lookers away from the cage. So the scope of Photography is very limited here. One has to use a telephoto lens above 400 mm to zoom out those bars and nettings to obtain an uninterrupted image of the display. This can be done only when the subject remains in a particular distance from the cage nettings.

After getting cloud and haze banged all day, CSX M693 finds a gap in the clouds as it splits the R-2 intermediates at Dungannon.

Having guided train movements for almost a century, the tired B&O CPL intermediate signals light up for a nighttime eastbound at Nebraska, IN. Around 30 hours later, they would be deactivated and removed on 8/20/2025.
