“It had been a long night,
lodged in a hide set up for
nocturnal species. After long
dark hours packed with action
photography, the breaking
dawn presented a real treat.
A little egret in wonderful
breeding plumage stopped
by and was standing at close
range in the golden light of
dawn reflected on the water’s
surface. The elongated
scapular feathers covered
the bird like a gown in the
lovely morning light. Instead
of using wide-angle, I looked
for a composition with my
telephoto lens to try to record
a different kind of image.”i
