The Chinese Egret (Olango)

[Bobby Kintanar]

The Chinese Egret (Egretta eulophotes) is a rare but consistent visitor of the Olango Bird Sanctuary. Osawa and I were quite lucky to have one of them come near enough for some decent pictures. We counted only 5 birds during our recent visit.

Here, the egret snares a Blow Fish and ultimately rejects it for some far safer delicacies:

Great capture, Bobby.

Unmistakably Chinese egret! Congratulations! Maybe, one day, we should come up with an album dedicated to this bird... Congratulations, Bobby!

Love the low angle, details and colors on these Bobby. Your new lens really rocks!

Thank you William, Prop Jerry, and Ka Mastah Romy - you are all so kind! :-)

I shot same bird, but your color is better than mine, nice capture Bobby.

Your choice of the Canon 7DII gives you a 960mm reach which is more than the 800mm that I am using. Well done Bobby, & Mabuhay.

Hehehe> It's just a matter of processing your photo Osawa San!

Thank you for taking time to comment Ka Eky - much appreciated :-)
