HUNTING ( Egretta garzetta)

Hunting - (Egretta garzetta), Nikon D500, Sigma supertele 300-800mm, f/8, 1/2000 sec, ISO100. Thanks for your comments

Nice capture of the landing as well. Ciao, Sandor

Grazie mille Sandor

Exellent shots of a hunting scene with reflections , Giangiorgio! Glad to see your pretty hunter. You can guess this Egretta Gazette is the same bird as in the photos published 02.06. Almost animation, if I understand correctly. The demonstration of the different phases of the bird movement enhances the overall impression. Delight! Sincerely, Tatiana

Giangiorgio, I made somewhat of an arbitrary decision to comment on this image. It doesn't mean that its companion is lesser in quality. Based on the egret's talons being quite close to the water's surface, I suspect it has spotted its next meal and is about to grab it. Aside from the image's displaying the bird's remarkable features, it also is quite dramatic. - - My best always, michael. Ciao!!

Thank you very much Michael for your keen comment, the egretta is flying over the surface of the water ready to rush to the prey

Grazie mille Tatiana for you observations . Normally the Garzette hunt in groups and we tend to photograph those that are more active at that moment, they are very similar to each other so I can't tell you if it's the same

Hi Giangiorgio,
