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.

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.

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.

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
Excerpt from shreinersgardens.com:
The Intermediate Bearded Iris (IB) range in height from 16" to 27", with their bloom season overlapping the Standard Dwarf Bearded and the Tall Bearded Iris. Although the IBs bloom early much like the Dwarf bearded, their height allows for their individual stalks to show more branching than the Dwarf Iris.
Intermediate Bearded Iris are ideal for container planting.
The New Vision Cooperative facility in Hills, Minnesota has an SD9 that looks very much at home next to the BNSF Marshall Subdivision. This unit started out its like with the CBQ before working for the BN and eventually BNSF with an intermediate stop at NRE in Silvis, Illinois. Nice to see it's at home in Hills in Minnesota's southwestern corner.

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.
