Preen
Photo Information
A Little Egret preening itself at Hackney Marshes, Teign Estuary , Devon.
Always a joy to watch them hunting for flatfish, by drumming the mud with their feet... then pouncing at their prey at such speed. These elegant birds spend a fair amount of time keeping their 20,000+ feathers clean and well oiled too.

Great shot, I love the contrast between the dark and light, very well captured.

Many thanks indeed John, I smiled as the Egret moved into this chiaroscuro contrast, lit by the setting sun to do it's preening
such delightful and majestic looking creatures https://www.philhemsley.co.uk/

Light, airy delicacy contrasted with the chaos of the muddy bank and the impenetrable blackness of the water. The side-lighting seals the deal. Like.
