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.

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.

An extension ring extends the distance between your lens and the camera sensor. This reduces the minimum focus distance and allows you to focus closer to your subject. This allows you to depict your subject larger than if you had used the lens without extension rings. www.fotograferenindenatuur.nl/tussenringen-interessant-vo....

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.

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

On an awesome morning, NS #509 heads west under the PT-225 intermediate signal bridge in Tipton, PA with SD60E 7010 leading. About a week earlier, someone climbed the bridge and stole the number plates off of every signal on the bridge here. NS quickly replaced with these current ones. The forecast predicted mostly cloudy this whole day which was a complete lie. There was not a cloud in sight until 3:00 PM which then turned overcast. I have been trying to plan a trip to this area for the past year and this day I picked happened to be sunny.

Darwin, NT, Australia

My first shot of the bird. Also called the Median Egret, Smaller Egret, or Yellow-billed Egret. It is a medium-sized Heron that is a resident breeder from east Africa across the Indian subcontinent to Southeast Asia and Australia. The Intermediate Egret stalks its prey methodically in shallow coastal or fresh water, including flooded fields. It eats fish, frogs, crustaceans and insects.
