Day 238 - a Year by the Sea

August 26, 2007 by OrientSee.

Out early for the heron count. I waited and waited and began to despair. There was nothing to see. Quite suddenly a flight of twenty odd egrets quietly landed in the puddle. Another flight followed shortly and then more stragglers. Ultimately there were 68 Snowy Egrets and 12 Great Egrets all wading around the puddle feeding. The sunrise came and with it a great view of all these gorgeous white egrets. With patience there came a reward. It was worth waking up in the dark to see this sort of gathering. It was a quiet grandeur.

Ciao!
