Can you tell us what you used to take some of these?

And maybe locations (if you're willing to share)?

The gear I use for most of my wildlife work comprise a 600mm ƒ4
+ D850 /combo on gimbal and a 200~400 f4 + D850 as well and
on gimbal too. Both on Gitzo serie 5 tripods.

And maybe locations (if you're willing to share)?

These were shot at a close by marsh in the south of Styria.

Fantastic light and wings position, really like the contrast against the blue sky

Good shot of bird(obviously), but extra good that the clouds contribute to the composition and fill out the frame.

Cheers gentlemen!

Thanks Nikkor Shooter.

I don't know about the "Great" model, but there are some lakes near me in S.W. England which have some small and medium sized egrets. I think we've only had then for the past 10 years or so, so rather exciting for us.

This was only taken with a D300 and 300mm F4 AFS and is a low-res copy.
Some of you may recognise Glastonbury Tor in the background

What I see on your take is the Great white Egret!
