Reddish Egret
This morning we were watching a juvenile reddish egret fishing in the marsh pond.
The reddish have a very interesting and often entertaining method of feeding.
They race around chasing after fish with their wings up, turning and changing direction frequently.
It resembles some sort of frenetic dance routine and can be quite comical to observe.

Yes Mandy, that is a juvie reddish. More more pale with little of the red you would normally see on an adult bird.
