Venus Pool - Great White Egrets

An amazing Egret feast has been taking place over the past two days and this was my first chance to enjoy the sight of three Great White Egrets plus three Little Egrets! This was in spite of the work party days which have made a tremendous clen up of the excess vegetation, well done everybody!

Too many pictures by far but here's a sample of my favourites... Starting with single GWE...








Take off and landing...




Nice size comparison...


Hard work to get two GWE's in the frame as they were often too close!






Here's a sight which will never be repeated - three Great Whites plus eught Little Egrets in the frame!!




They formed this tight formation as there was a fox prowling through the reed bed, a sort of safety in numbers tactic?


Eventually the fox moved on and so did they!



Quite a moment to remember!!
