LITTLE EGRET BIRD
Little egret is a bird of heron family. Pure white color of body with black legs and black beak. They are generally found in shallow water wetland areas. In Gujarat they found every agriculture areas and also in sanctuaries like Thol bird sanctuary, Nal sarovar sanctuary,Velavadar National Park, Pariej wetland etc. I take all pictures at Thol lake. Little egret feed also in shallow grasslands or wetland areas. Egrets are very familiar and if you go close to them very slowly then they don't rush .
About Little Egret :
- The Little Egret is about 22-25 inch long and its wingspan is about 35-40 inch.
- Average weight of egret is about 500 g. Color of egret in plumage is also white.
- They can make bubbling calls.
Thol lake is heaven for me and also lots of birders in Gujarat. More than 250 different spices found here. So those who wants good migratory birds and different spices at one place Thol lake is good for them. I take a shot while Little Egret is flying. To shoot birds in flight is great experience. You need good knowledge of camera setting while you shoot flying shot of bird.Full wingspan open of Little Egret.
While flying on shallow water reflections of egret into water and also in background of sun rays reflection create nice bokeh.
