Beautiful shot KK, the breeding colour looks almost airbrushed on this superb flight image. Wonderful for the motif - and yes indeed, a hint of sunlight!! :D 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Lana and Carol,
Just proves that you both have keen eyes! :lol:
Indeed there was a very brief moment of the sun light peeping through in the early afternoon when this shot was taken. I count myself lucky then. Now we're back to the dreadful weather again today with some rain too ... :cry:

Nicely done KK - I have never seen one of these with breeding plumage - nice one! We finally have some sun here so maybe you will get some as well (maybe in a few days anyway!)

Way more color on this one than the average Cattle Egret in full breeding plumage. Good sharpness and DOF.

KK,

Beautiful shot. The egret looks great against the darker background.
