Redwing WWT Slimbridge

Just a small portion of the 1000's of Trumpeter Swans and some ducks. They were startled as I approached. This is a tiny section of the flock spread over two large flooded farm fields divided by a road.

The lamppost seems well insulated. The staircase can appear dark and eerie, inviting imagination and personal interpretation.

Another from the weekend session with this male barn owl (Tyto alba)

After the previous morning had fog, I wanted to get this tree and composition again in clear conditions! This is a very interesting old gum tree and this picture doesn't capture all of its character! Moralana Scenic Drive. 4 shot vertical panorama, 1 flash and video light, and a tiny sliver of moonlight. Sigma lens.

Reddish Egret

The Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) is a medium-sized heron. It is a resident breeder in Central America, The Bahamas, the Caribbean, the Gulf Coast of the United States, and Mexico. There is post-breeding dispersal to well north of the nesting range. In the past, this bird was a victim of the plume trade.

According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, there are only 1,500 to 2,000 nesting pairs of reddish egrets in the United States — and most of these are in Texas. They are classified as "Threatened" in Texas and receive special protection.

Egrets are herons which have white or buff plumage and develop fine plumes (usually milky white) during the breeding season. Egrets are not a biologically distinct group from the herons and have the same build.
