Grey Heron (continued)

In our region some grey herons are staying in the winter and are
breeding from februari till june.
They are of the same species as the one of Alan's photo.
See https://flic.kr/p/2pGkKB3.

The great egret is seen around here more and more, though I haven't
spotted one here this season.

Excellent shot, Henk.

Interesting to hear about the Great Egrets. Must be getting warmer there?

Here is a recent shot of a local one (heavy crop). Not all that common.
K5 & HD 55-300 @ 300.

Nice picture. Funny pose that one, just like a stork.
It is remarkable that the legs of the great egret can be orange or black
(like on your photo).
I asked Copilot AI, which replied that during the breeding period the
legs get red and the beak black.
Here a picture I took here some years ago (in breeding period) of two
great egrets with pure orange legs .

We also see the little regret here, which can be determined by its
intense black beak.

Henk's missive did not appear in my inbox, which is, of course, the source of Great Egret for me.  Otherwise I have to go to Somerset, at the other end of England, unless I would be happy with occasional Little Egrets.  Generally, though, I have no Egrets at all.

Mike, this is somewhat spooky, because your posts always end up in my
spam box, which I egret.
However, I have given up to bother about mail problems.
With outlook and gmail failing sometimes on incoming mail, I'm back on
thunderbird with my provider's mail address.

Interesting. The African sub-species has black legs all the year round.
The yellow bill darkens partly during the breeding season.

We have another slightly smaller one here (the Yellowbilled Egret -
still much bigger than the Little Egret) which is more like the one you
describe.

I'll  be on the look out!
