Little Egret - Egretta garzetta
The little egret (Egretta garzetta) is a species of small heron in the family Ardeidae. The genus name comes from the Provençal French Aigrette, egret a diminutive of Aigron, heron. The species epithet garzetta is from the Italian name for this bird, garzetta or sgarzetta.
It is a white bird with a slender black beak, long black legs and, in the western race, yellow feet. As an aquatic bird, it feeds in shallow water and on land, consuming a variety of small creatures. It breeds colonially, often with other species of water birds, making a platform nest of sticks in a tree, bush or reed bed. A clutch of bluish-green eggs is laid and incubated by both parents. The young fledge at about six weeks of age.
Its breeding distribution is in wetlands in warm temperate to tropical parts of Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. A successful colonist, its range has gradually expanded north, with stable and self-sustaining populations now present in the United Kingdom.
It first appeared in the UK in significant numbers in 1989 and first bred in Dorset in 1996
In warmer locations, most birds are permanent residents; northern populations, including many European birds, migrate to Africa and southern Asia to over-winter there. The birds may also wander north in late summer after the breeding season, and their tendency to disperse may have assisted in the recent expansion of the bird's range. At one time common in Western Europe, it was hunted extensively in the 19th century to provide plumes for the decoration of hats and became locally extinct in northwestern Europe and scarce in the south. Around 1950, conservation laws were introduced in southern Europe to protect the species and their numbers began to increase. By the beginning of the 21st century the bird was breeding again in France, the Netherlands, Ireland and Britain. It has also begun to colonise the New World; it was first seen in Barbados in 1954 and first bred there in 1994. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed the bird's global conservation status as being of least concern..

If there were spheres like this in which you could keep flowers preserved, I'd have them all over my house.
Much appreciation for your views, faves, comments and/or invitations!
Eichhornia crassipes is a species of free-floating aquatic plant in the Pontederiaceae family, known by the common name of water hyacinth. This species originates from the Rivers of the hot tropical regions of South America.
Typically I find Sandhill Cranes rummaging through stubbly cornfields so it was mildly exciting to find several frolicking in nice blue water.
On a gloomy Melbourne day, this shard of aqua glass glows in the glare of the filtered sunlight.
When I showed this photo to my nephew, he said I should call it "cube-aquatic". So I did. There are cubes of glass which make up the whole tower, and it looks like water. Logical.
It may not be immediately obvious, but the large building to the left is also almost entirely glass, and reflects the building across the road as well as the sky.
This is an in-camera multiple-exposure, something I enjoy immensely but often forget in my rush of enthusiasm to shake and bake an ICM.

This Snowy egret was seen in one of the cypress trees overlooking the lagoon at Berkeley Aquatic Park.
