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.

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.
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.

What looked like a dance was in fact some gentle chase of the Intermediate Egret (Ardea intermedia) by the Eastern Great Egret (Ardea modesta).
Yesterday I heard about the lockdown radius to be expanded to 10 km, but I didn't hear "from 11:59 pm on 17 September". I heard 17 September only ;-)
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.
