That photo is sharp! Camera, lens, settings?
Tamron 50-400 on a Sony Alpha 7 Compact II.
Settings I’ll have up look up, think shutter was around 1/1000, aperture wide open, full zoom as I didn’t want to disturb the bird.
Also this was perhaps 30min after sunrise, good light always helps :)
Excellent shot! Black legs and feet with yellow bill, most likely a Great egret.
Merlin agrees.
we call them egrets! gorgeous birds.
Egrets, I’ve had a few. But then again, too few to mention.
Are you sure that’s not an egret?
Absolutely not :D
I was only visiting on holidays, so not familiar with the local wildlife. I googled it after I shot the bird and acc. to Wikipedia Egrets are Herons… Since this one is white I figured it’s a white heron. But googling some more triggered by your question I understand now they are a distinct species and not a heron?
I’m not an expert, if it’s in the US it is probably an egret, I do not know what Eurasia has going on. Or Africa.
It’s in Canada
Yellow beak is a heron, black beak is an egret.
Are you maybe thinking of swans? Trumpeter swans have black beaks, European ones have orange.
No.
Oh. So you are just an idiot.
Great Egret. Medium Egret. Chinese Egret. Cattle Egret. The fucking Yellow-billed Egret.
