The last couple of mornings have involved early starts to try and get some decent photos of the Great White Egrets in good light. The trouble with taking pictures of these birds in strong daylight is that because they are totally white the pictures are easily over exposed and appear 'blown out' so to get better images you need either some cloud cover or an early morning start. I couldn't help but include a photo of the fantastic sunrise over the misty reed bed that was taken yesterday as the colour was amazing; for the technical among you the photo is an HDR image so the detail in the reeds came out against the rising sun.
This morning the light was very good for photography but unfortunately the 3 G W Egrets were at the far end of Island mere at Minsmere but eventually one of the birds did a flyby allowing some pictures to be taken before landing in the reeds.
Later the same bird took off from the reeds and flew close to the hide enabling me to get a few more photos. A very graceful bird and to see three in one place giving good views is exceptional!
