Great Egrets are usually so pristine lookong but when it comes to hunting for food a bird can get a bit dirty. The egrets and herons who fish close to shore are usually successful but end up looking a bit messy.

I’ve seen some really dirty egrets, lol, always made me wonder how they ever got clean again! But they somehow do.

I think it was worth the mess. It got a meal! I’ve been know to be a mess after eating something juicy and tasty too. 😂 It was a great catch for you too!

That’s a beautiful capture, Belinda. They always look so menacing when they’re focussed on hunting. That beak! And yes, food over mud, for sure. 😊
