Both good captures. The subtle reflection of the egret is excellent and makes the image so much better.
Best regards

Just what I was thinking - a very productive walk

Usual walk down to the paper shop so I took my K1 + 150-450mm in the hope of catching the kingfisher again, but an egret was there instead. But better still as the mud was frozen I walked back along the river path and spotted this chap sunning himself on the opposite bank at 10.00 in the morning; he spotted me at the same time so I just had time for a couple of hasty shots before he sauntered off.

The way this page is displayed on my laptop all I saw was the text and no pictures so as I read it I was imagining some bloke sat on the side of a frozen lake with his sunglasses on reading a paper or something

Very jealous, have managed to get a lot of decent Kingfisher and Egret shots in my time but never a fox.
No equipment list here but thanks for taking an interest. My Flickr

Thanks all, sorry to disappoint Mike-P! I felt a bit bad because when I first saw him he was curled up having a nap, but as soon as I brought the camera up he was awake. Visiting that spot before I assumed the flattened grass was human behaviour! I have seen the occasional fox around but always at a distance and in poor light. Luckily for me the camera settings were ready in TAV mode from the egret shots.

And here is the egret, although I managed some better shots last year in the same place:
