After finishing our latest Wader Count we headed out to Inskip Point to check out what bird life was there.

As usual most of the birds were resting on the little sand island out from the point.

Little Egret (
Egretta garzetta)

We found this Little Egret feeding in the shallows by the shoreline, while this White-breasted Woodswallow flew in and posed nicely for us on a dead branch.

It's always nice when you can get the reflection in the water as well as the bird. Little Egrets are especially nice for this I find. Great photos.
Thanks Mick I think the weather also helps as it was such a nice day to be out.
Beautiful shots Neil! Especially the in-flight photo of the Little Egret.
Thanks Larry our son took the camera from me for a change and that is what he managed get.

Lovely photos, Neil! It's nice to note that you have birds there that I see quite often here in the Philippines.
