White Egret....

Fabulous!!
Toowoomba is a lovely place & it certainly is cooler than Brisbane, but it got quite cold in winter, especially in one the RAAF houses!! Lived there for 4yrs back in the 60s - Dad was in the RAAF!

LOL!!! Thanks Dave - you crazy thing you;))))))

He was just resting and grooming Suzy - thanks!!!

Wonder what has his feathers up? :)

WOW!! THis photo is enough to have me considering changing my name from warbler to egret!!! Its perfect!

Thank you for all your compliments - they are much appreciated:))) I've been a bit busy - so haven't
had much time on Jigidi!!

Good clear pic, Rob, Thanks.

Great picture of such a beautiful bird! thanks Rob.

Beautiful photo Rob. I didn't know they lived there, too. He does look a bit chilly.

Fabulous photo!

"Don't come any closer," he's saying.

Such beautiful birds.

LOL!! I hope you get some Janet - we had storms go through quick-fast yesterday evening and had 7mm in the gauge, which was nice:))) Thanks!

My pleasure Jacki - thanks:)))

beautiful photos make great puzzles. thank you.

That's a great photo, thanks Rob. Yes he is hunched over, maybe waiting for that rain. Maybe I should try hunching a bit, as it's feeling a bit like rain this afternoon, but not much in the way of likely clouds.
Hugs, janet

I think he'd always be on the lookout for food Marian:)) Thanks!

.....until they stretch that long neck out:)))) LOL!! Thanks Beekay:))))

LOL, Egrets and Herons always remind me of grumpy old men:-)) Great photo!

He looks like he is definitely studying something ahead of him....

He was in a tree on the edge of a large pool Heidi - with water all around him, and most likely fish!! Thanks!

Thanks Lunie:))

Thanks Nev:)))

so tamed compared to the other photos i have seen in JIGIDI...good shot rob.

These are wading birds, so they need big feet to keep from sinking in the mud.

Thanks Joan:))

Hi songbirdj - he was resting in a tree and doing a little grooming - but when he's in 'fishing mode' the neck elongates!! I don't think he has many R'Egrets:)))) Good one!!! Thanks!!

He sure has long toes Barb - and legs:))) Thanks!!

I've never seen one smile Floyd:))))) ...but the weather was cool and rain started just after we left here, so maybe he knew what was coming:))) Thanks!!

Sometimes The World is harsh. Hunch your shoulders against this.

He does look a little sad.
Thank you Rob for sharing his picture.

It sure is long legged Rob....and big feet too...thank you for this one :)

What a funny pose. Does he always have his head lowered like that? He looks like he 'R'Egrets something he just did. :)

Nice shot!
