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.

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. 😊
