    Hi RR

    Great shots, I never knew there was such a size difference between the little and great white egrets as I have yet to see a great white egret, I really must get to Dungeness soon i have not been there this year. That last shot of the Heron looks almost tropical with the plants in the background it gives a real contrast of colour.

    Thanks Shane,

    You are right about the size difference between the Great & Little Egret , we recently saw a Leucistic Grey Heron next to a Little Egret , the size difference was even more surprising, (photo below).

    And to complete the "Egert Collection" a Cattle Egret below.

    The plants with the Grey Heron do add a tropical feel,I think they may be Canna's.

    Have fun
