Now I am not an expert on birds but I should very much like to photograph more of them.
I think that this is a "great egret" loitering around the weir wall on the Nepean River
at Penrith. I tried to sneak closer but it would have nothing of it and eventually took
to the air in high dudgeon.

You got close enough to get a good shot anyway; sharp detail, good colours in the feathers and beak.

Nicely managed. Birds can be hard.

Great pose and nice backdrop with those water ripples.
Glad you took the shot before it flew off......V
