I think we all know how an Egret look like. A difficult subject to photograph because of his extremely white color.

The following Egret is in the "wrong" pawn. Locals put all kind of @&% in the water. A flight of less than 30 seconds may
solve the problem of this magnificant bird. Notice how dirty he is :cry

If birds are in the wrong place than it will show. Look at this pigeon that life behind the market area where people did
forget how to seperate their waste and what to do with it.

Here two pics of a bird called "Ruddy Turnstone". They are much more shy than other shore birds. Because of their
shy-ness they stroll around elsewhere the most of the time (which is in this case a good thing)
