I really struggled with its plumage in the early morning light. I feel it’s 'blown out' too much?
Intermediate Egrets (Ardea intermedia) Intermediate Egrets occur throughout most of the world. They are common throughout Australia, with the exception of the most arid areas.
Intermediate egret at the Jerrabomberra wetlands today. There were three white-faced herons trying to share the same feeding ground, but the egret would have none of it, and spent as much time chasing the herons as it did feeding.
Since the wetlands have been "improved", i.e. made more people friendly, one has to be early and quick to get a few shots in before the binoculared mob arrive with their lists and loud voices.
Australian Capital Territory, January, 2017.
Territorial fight is an integral part of wildlife. They defend their own space, food and female. Sounds human?

247) Intermediate Egret
Intermediate Egret, Mesophoyx intermedia, Bangau
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. All-white plumage, generally dark legs and a thickish yellow bill. 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.
Tiada nama khas tempatan untuk spesis ini. Ia secara amnya dipanggil bangau. Saiznya antara Bangau Besar dan Bangau Kerbau. Seperti bangau lain, ia adalah pelawat tetap dari Afrika Timur yang terbang melintasi India untuk ke Asia Tenggara dan Australia.

The water levels at Knuckey Lagoon were quite low, but apparently just right for the several Egrets that were busily hunting prey.
I miss it all so much already.
The core of our home galaxy, the Milky Way, backlights one of 16 remaining semaphore blades along the Raton and Glorietta Subdivisions. The WB signal indicates a clear; however, the next train would pass through here almost 12 hours after this photo was taken: stark contrast to the traffic volumes this route used to see.

Evening and the light failing when I spotted this intermediate egret. It was already hunkered down in readiness for the cold night ahead
No frills Intermediate Egret, on one leg on a couple of rough branches in Sandy Camp Road Wetlands Reserve.
Tough Enough.
IMO ..from a North American perspective this bird has foraging mannerisms intermedite between a Spotted Sandpiper and a Lesser Yellowlegs
Like the Spotted in that it intermediately does the "Rump Pump"
Although comparable in size top the Solitary Sandpiper , it forages at a faster pace - more vigorously and animated than a SOSA
Rather reminiscent of its cousin the Lesser Yellowlegs
Yet it is not so frenetic and frantic as a Greater Yellowlegs' typical feeding style
i was very fortunate on this particular morning with practically continuous views for almost an hour as it foraged

Congrats Geoffrey on finding this exquisite mega rarity
i had been 0 for 3 before this outing ..
There has been more water coverage than is typical at this location, this spring season.
One of the best spots for shorebirds & ducks around Greater Victoria - early 2021..and on into the summer
L303 climbs up out of the Lake O dip and past the intermediates at CH 118. The searchlights on the Plymouth Sub are not long for the world, as a bad storm ripped through the area last summer and all but destroyed most of the code line. After issuing a temporary signal suspension for part of the line, the long-standing plans to replace these old signals were finally accelerated, and 2024 sounds like it will be the last year for searchlights on this part of the old Pere Marquette. New signals are already in service from CH 105 east towards Lansing.
