    Default Little Egret with youngster

    Captured this Little Egret with her youngster on the Exe estuary.
    There were 12 there today and I was wondering why she kept having a stab at some of the others , then I realised she was guarding he offspring. Rather cute (as it goes ) with his matchstick like legs too

    There is also an assortment of other Little Egrets doing things here as well.

    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.
