(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.

A pleasant Sunday afternoon at Sandy Camp Road Wetland Reserve.

This is an album cover I shot and edited for Fry Jones' upcoming album called The Intermediate. This was the largest expansion photo I've ever done and the hardest. But I am happy with how it turned out.

KODAK VISION Color Intermediate Film

5242 is a motion picture laboratory film that enable the production of printing elements that are closer in quality to the look of a print made directly from the original negative.

The film isn't designed for pictorial use but can yield some interesting images for the photographer who wants something different. The FPP has hand-rolled 27 exposure rolls and fondly calls the film "Incredibly Slow Negative Film" due to it's 0.8 iso. Due to it's carbon based Rem Jet, the film can not be processed (C-41) in a commercial lab. The film can be home processed in the FPP Unicolor C-41 kit or by a specialty lab (like Blue Moon Camera).

Keoladeo National Park is the most famous birding park in India. It is home to more than 230 species of birds and hosts thousands of birds during the migratory flights each year. It is a man made wetland and a World Heritage Site.

DSCN1205 EUWI X AMWI hybrid

 

This could be a back cross which favours EUWI

  

Typically hybrids show a stronger "AMWI" line differentiating 2 tones on face

 

Is this a bird ...

i had hoped to see again ??? hmmm... See comment box

 

however

Here are my surmisings

  

Red tones show that EUWI is involved and the lack of definition would seem to indicate a possible EUWI back cross

All the speckling and other face tones indicate AMWI influence

 

The flanks /sides are nicely intermediate between grey tones of EUWI and purple tones of AMWI

 

Further photo doc. of this bird before all the Wigeons migrate North , could be very interesting.

Would love to see what "prime" breeding plumage looks like.

Second-largest of the egrets, working the edge of a lagoon in the Minnippi Wetland. I had originally ID'd as Great, but I think I can see breast plumes as well as those on the back.

Our Daily Challenge ... hobbies.

 

Bird watching is one component of my photography obsession. During the heat of summer most of the water birds I can see from my backyard disappeared ... presumably to cooler climes. However, they are starting to return and have discovered the conveniently located log on the edge of the lake.

Thanks to my friend Tyler for the chance to see some rare power on CP in the year 2013! CP 9134 & SOO 6044.

Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.

 

....from a visit to Buckley's Hole. Buckley's Hole Conservation Park is situated in the south-west corner of Bribie Island, the northern-most sand island in Moreton Bay, some 50 kilometres north of Brisbane. The park covers an area of 87.7 hectares and contains a freshwater lagoon, woodland, open forest and beach. It is this diversity of habitat that has led to such a large number of bird species being recorded in this small area, the present total standing at 270.
