An Intermediate Egret perched on a rock. The patience of these birds to perch till they find their food is quite something - try spending time watching one of these, and it's quite easy to give up sooner than they make a move.
Ardea intermedia
Family: Ardeidae
Order: Pelicaniformes
I would be interested in any suggestions as to what our friend has caught from the edge of the lake!

The intermediate egret, median egret, smaller egret, or yellow-billed egret is a medium-sized heron. Some taxonomists put the species in the genus Egretta or Mesophoyx. It is a resident breeder from east Africa across the Indian subcontinent to Southeast Asia and Australia
This Intermediate Egret In breeding plumage was foraging for food and as I approached he started to dance.
I can not help but love the birds that I photograph. I was very excited to see this bird perform like he did.
Captured at Cotton Tree, Maroochydore, Sunshine Coast, Queensland Australia.

Status in the ACT is “rare non-breeding visitor”. This guy didn’t get the message, being in full breeding colours and plumage. Widespread in the North and East in wetter areas of the country. Seen at Jerrabomberra Wetlands ACT
An Intermediate Egret in the shallows of Pine River on Sunday afternoon. These birds have long legs! This is equivalent to us standing in water just above the knees. Very inquisitive species. This one came close enough to check me out and wasn’t phased by my presence.

It is about 56–72 cm (22–28 in) long with a 105–115 cm (41–45 in) wingspan and weighs c. 400 g (14 oz), with all-white plumage, generally dark legs and a thickish yellow bill. Breeding birds may have a reddish or black bill, greenish yellow gape skin, loose filamentous plumes on their breast and back, and dull yellow or pink on their upper legs (regional variations). The sexes are similar.

SCT012,SCT008 have stopped at the intermediate signal nearing Darrine with 2PM9 SCT service on 23-3-10
This bloom class is similar, but smaller than the larger Irregular Incurve Class. It has shorter florets, only partially incurving with full centers, giving it a more open appearance.

(Egret intermedia)
The intermediate egret, median egret, smaller egret, or yellow-billed egret (Ardea intermedia) is a medium-sized heron. Some taxonomists put the species in the genus Egretta or Mesophoyx. It is a resident breeder from east Africa across the Indian subcontinent to Southeast Asia and Australia.
This species, as its scientific name implies, is intermediate in size between the great egret and smaller white egrets like the little egret and cattle egret, though nearer to little than great. It is about 56–72 cm (22–28 in) long with a 105–115 cm (41–45 in) wingspan and weighs c. 400 g (14 oz), with all-white plumage, generally dark legs and a thickish yellow bill. Breeding birds may have a reddish or black bill, greenish yellow gape skin, loose filamentous plumes on their breast and back, and dull yellow or pink on their upper legs (regional variations). The sexes are similar.
The non-breeding colours are similar, but the intermediate is smaller, with neck length a little less than body length, a slightly domed head, and a shorter, thicker bill. The great egret has a noticeable kink near the middle of its neck, and the top of its longer bill nearly aligns with the flat top of its head. Close up, great egret's gape line extends behind the eye, while the intermediate's is less pointed and ends below the eye. The intermediate tends to stalk upright with neck extended forward. The great is more patient, often adopting a sideways-leaning "one-eyed" stance.
